Genuine question about this subreddit’s stance on landlords

Something I keep noticing is that “landlords” are often demonized on r/antiwork. Yet at the same time, I can’t help but think that “landlord” is a rather vague term that is simply thrown around in this sub. There is a massive difference between a family who is renting out their second home in order to supplement their income after having their second child, and those massive rental companies which make it a point to ruin everything and everyone. Additionally, I know from personal experience that many low SES immigrants, particularly those who are undocumented and have little to no job security or benefits, heavily rely on renting out their homes and rooms in order to have something that somewhat resembles a steady income. So who exactly are the landlords that this subreddit is against?
