    providing and selling are 2 different things (renting is just selling the limited use of something)

      “Providing” = making available for use

        So every business is a provider in your eyes? You would say that McDonald’s provides food for everyone? That’s ridiculous and not the way anyone uses the word provide it’s just been brought into landlording to make leeches feel better about themselves

          No, McDonald’s only provides food for those who choose to buy it. Not everyone eats at McDonald’s.

          Rental property owners aren’t leeches. Leeches are the tenants who use the service the landlord provides and don’t pay for it.
