Question - is it unethical to be a landlord IF your only rental properties are garages in an area with plentiful and free street parking, and the land couldn't be used for housing if the garages were torn down?
Renting out commercial properties are not a problem. Nobody needs a warehouse or an office or a hard stand to live. Most businesses either buy their own property or they need the flexibility to outgrow small offices, or to rent a hard stand for a few months or years.
Renting out residential property is and always will be parasite behaviour.
why not?
But generally yes, garages are less of a problem. But there is no ethical renting (under capitalism).
It's a 12ft by 20ft garage on a tiny subdivision of a house's plot of land. Not zoned for housing and not large enough to even fit a mobile home. Just cut off of someone's backyard.
