Comment on Rent is theft
arc99@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I can agree with some arguments about the rental market, or laws about rent protection / rights. But rent in itself is not theft. Somebody wanting to live in somebody else’s property whether it’s for the night, a week or a year has to pay for it, or go buy their own place to stay in.

What’s your definition of theft?

Dishonestly taking possession of an object with intent to deprive the owner of its use

Does “dishonestly” include a situation where the state’s monopoly on violence is utilized to leverage someone into a bad deal?
