While you are undoubtedly better than what I’m about to say… I still wouldn’t say you’re a good guy in this instance.

But, the real massive issue I see here is that big companies and rich douchebags use owning land and housing solely for profit. THAT should be illegal.

Renting out property between individuals should pe perfectly legal though, as long as some now-inexistent laws are followed, like not being able to hoard housing for rent money.

Renting solely for profit should be illegal.

Renting just to be able to keep a property that you may need in the future should be legal.

I still wouldn’t say you’re a good guy in this instance.

I have two options: either sell (to an investor/hoarder) or rent. In the latter case, I can’t afford being both the breadwinner for my family and the mortgage for the prior apartment.

What would you suggest I should do in this situation to “be the good guy”?

100% agree with this and the rest.

  Well, selling to someone who needs it would be best in my book but yea… You staying the owner is a billion times better than some company or land developer buying it… You’re right, no hard feelings

    Why is that better? A parasite owns it either way.
