    Yes, but are they fucking them in some crazy way, or is this old man just doing what is often done by people are capable of it?

    With severe short term memory loss, I would say this is a fringe case where landlording is fair enough.

    Maybe he did it back when landlording wasn't his only means of income - I don't know. It doesn't matter to me because he probably wasnt educated about why landlording is exploitative. It's sadly a normal thing to do, and sort of a natural reaction to alienation from normal labour for many people who again, are totally uneducated on the topic and inundated in capitalist realism. The chances are, elderly man was and is just some guy. Now he's some guy with no alternative means of income possible. Not inherently evil, and in my eyes deserving of compassion. It doesn't sound like he owns a whole raft of properties.

      A lot of excuses. I can't help think of the tenant who doesn't have a choice either. To pay the rent or become homeless but the tenant ain't potat, smolbean.

        Yes, but the tenant, to my knowledge does not have short term memory loss. That is the key difference for me. They seem to be capable of working a normal job.

      Slaves using their elderly slaver's dementia to their advantage is bad if slavery is normal in that society, I guess
