> A renter should not be any more grateful to the landlord than a worker should be grateful to the shareholder for paying their salary. It is an exchange.

All true, but there can be a lot of "quality of life" variance in how that exchange is implemented in practice. I've been a tenant a couple of times and now had a couple of tenants myself. Landlords can make things more or less difficult while offering the same agreement, and tenants can make things more or less difficult while complying fully with the same agreement.

I'm grateful whenever someone chooses to do better than the bare minimum required by the agreement. If anyone reading this takes good faith for granted, I urge you to at least read horror stories on reddit.
