I don't understand how that's any more perverse than small landlords doing the same thing. What is the perversity argument around rentals? Is it that is a single family home being rented? Is it that it's a private equity company doing the renting? Is it the unique combination?

Having had many many bad landlords of single family homes in the past, I'd prefer somebody like Blackrock as a land lord as they are less slokey and more likely to follow the law then a lot of landlords I've been forced to deal with.
