    What does “abolish landlords” look like in practise? What is that slogan suggesting exactly?

      I haven’t seen that used as a motto by a consistent group that might also have a longer explainer.

      But, presumably, it would force all rental agreements to be replaced with mortgages. Presumably, hotel/motels could still provide long-term non-mortgage housing, but they have a good amount of regulation and generally provide services currently landlords do not.

      Alternatively, it might be non-literal motto that doesn’t want to abolish landlords, but rather to more severely regulate them.
