    One option would be the rent you pay slowly increases your ownership share of the house/appartment. If you live in the same place for 20 or 30 years and have paid enough to approximately match the value of the house you now own it and don’t have to pay any more rent.

    Just the first thing that cane to mind

      Fair enough, that’s all I was looking for was a solution to the problem instead of just complaining. I am not a landlord but I do like the rent to own model, it’s a solid idea.

      Who would offer a property to you in that scenario though? We’re talking state funded housing right as there’s no incentive for private landlords to outlay the money for you to pay it off slowly while living there

        Landlords will need to be killed. Thats a hell of an incemtive. Butcher them and display the mangled remains. Make their kin watch.

        So, that’s one incentive structure I can think of. I’m sure there are others though.

          Erm, OK then?! :)

          I’d go with something a tad more moderate like make it illegal for any private entity to rent out property as that would then remove the issue we currently have which is large volumes of property falling into the hands of corporations and pushing towards indentured servitude. As a bonus it would also remove Airbnbs/holiday lets

            I’d go for

            With what money? They own the means of ‘nonviolent’ change enforced by men with guns. There is one solution. They must die. Unless you own an oil company or something.
