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.

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