Does having an AirBNB setup make someone deserving of the guillotine or does that only apply to owners of multiple houses? What about apartments?

Please explain your reasoning as well.

    No, you can’t just make up words either. It’s deliberately misused slang, at best. Even then, I didn’t say it was or wasn’t a word. Please try and keep the sophistry to a minimum. I said it wasn’t a verb as “landlord” isn’t a job and “landlording” isn’t a doing word.

    That’s recruitment, not being a landlord. Recruitment is work.

    Regardless of what names they may or may not have, owning something, in of itself, isn’t a job.

    You’re making this seem a lot harder than it actually is.

      Being a landlord IS a job. Being a landlord involves work, and work is a job. This is very simple.

        No, owning something, in of itself, isn’t a job. For example, you own the device on which you’re typing you’re utter nonsense. Is you owning your device a job?

        Have you ever seen a job vacancy for “landlord”?

        No, of course not. Thats why “landlord” isn’t a job.

          Being a landlord is a self-employed job. People don’t advertise for self-employed jobs. They do those jobs themselves!

          Sounds like you’re the one with the ignorance on the topic.

            Owning something isn’t a job, even if you stamp your feet and strop about it really hard. Thats why no definition of the word defines it as a job. Stop making up meanings for words, its pathetic.

            Landlord

            a person or organization that owns a building or an area of land and is paid by other people for the use of it:

            NOT A JOB.
