Landlords have their place. However, it’s filling the niche between hotels and home ownership. Maybe 20% of housing, at most.

“Landbastard” is the preferred designation.
Call them the derogatory term that they are: Capitalists.
A landbastard also implies there’s a seabastard, skybastards, and firebastard

I think “landleech” rolls of the tongue better, but it feels wrong to compare them to something that plays a legitimate role in its ecosystem.
