Tiny violin. They could always adapt to the market and lower rent, as the market dictates.

Personally I hope the rent market collapses. I don’t believe it’s a sign of a healthy system where private entities can profiteer from housing.
Probably not a popular opinion. Probably I will get called a communist. But what do I care. What is see is that housing needs a lot of controls or the haves and the have-nots keep drifting apart uncontrollably, until you have a generation of highly educated white collar professionals where couples can’t afford family housing.
Oh, wait. That’s already Finland. Well played.

If you can’t sell something the price isn’t right. To get rid of s*it you might have to be the one paying.

Landlords work maybe ten hours a week on average if you stretch out their work schedule over an entire year.
So tough, poor poor landlords.

Supply and demand, if the demands not there, then price needs to drop. You’re not entitled to profit holding real estate. It’s an investment which means there’s risk. If you cannot handle a cashflow issue then you’ shouldn’t be a landlord.

Boohoo maybe dont charge 800 euros for an old jail cell.

This isnt the case everywhere. Lapland is struggling with rent because people can buy a flat and make more with short term rentals over the winter than long term rentals.
But on the upside, I get to buy a house for like 30k under asking in our little town

It’s strange to see the amount of hate against landlords on reddit and few other places. If any of those had their own apartments they wouldn’t out those on rent for cheaper prices or accept everyone as tenant.
Some prefer to keep the apartment empty and wait for tenant who will A) live decently B ) pay what’s asked. Yeah, prices need to drop, for many it’s just hard to admit and accept it.
Also since getting rid of troublesome tenants is way too hard in Finland, if it was made much easier renting apartments would be much easier. It’s hard to even evict junkies who annoy and bother all neighbours 24/7, it takes months. Should be a few weeks at most in obvious cases, preferably less.

Oh no! Maybe these landlords should get a job, instead of just leeching on the fruit of other people’s labour?

Such tragic news, i might just lose sleep over this.

I think one problem is that housing companies montly costs (asunto-osakeyhtiö hoitovastikkeet) are ridicusly high. You can often see 1000 € hoitovastike for an 80 m2 apartment. Sometimes it doesn’t even include the heating if electric. If you are poor a detached house is much more cost effective if the buying price is not too high. The goverment really need to look into what makes these costs so expensive. Land rent, property taxes, water, garbadge disposal, etc. All of the tiny streams added together?

Too many studios and small one bedroom apartments were built for investors, as they technically give the best rental yields. Turns out that the market collectively forgot that the demand for these shoeboxes is not infinite.
