Not really, they’re maintaining their asset, just like washing your own clothes isn’t a job you get paid for, keeping your house in working condition isn’t
The problem in my experience is that these landlords cut cost as much as possible, doing the bare minimum to rake in as much as possible. Barely maintaining shit, late maintenance, crappy construction even if it looks nice, nickel and diming left and right. It’s like this at every apt I’ve been at.

I would argue that a live-in landlord that does maintenance work or acts as a building super is in fact doing a job.
Otherwise, agreed.

Washing clothes and building maintenance absolutely is labor.
Rent is far, far higher than the cost of building maintenance though.
