I think the depiction of the landlord is not exactly correct.

Landlords are usually miserable, constantly worried about missing payments and mortgages and property values and blaming apartment dilapidation on the tenant. I'm yet to interact with a happy and fully mentally stable landlord.

Being a lazy piece of shit who steals labor from workers is not mutually exclusive with being miserable. In fact I suspect they are interlinked, a lot of rich assholes also seem to be in constant mental anguish even though they don't do anything useful. This is not to provoke pity for them, rather to clarify that I think a certain amount of labor is required for a person to live a complete and happy life.
