    You…blame the people who can’t afford to own for renting and also blame that same situation for making it harder for you to buy? You seem to be missing the point here.

      Noun: renter |ren-tur|

      1. Someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else • the landlord can evict a renter who doesn’t pay the rent = tenant

      2. An owner of property who receives payment for its use by another person

      It’s not my fault the stupid word means both people renting, and the owners who rent the place out. I’d hoped the context would have made it clear to which I was referring, in each use.

        Lol I’ve never in my life heard a landlord referred to as a renter. It’s a funny situation but I have to say this ones on you :p
