Truth doesn't matter in the US court system, unless both sides are equally well funded. Given that one party owns capital and the other rents, I'd say that seems not too likely.


So you think the landlord can just liquidate what you call the capital? Sell the house?

Unless itβ€˜s a large landlord, chances are that the renter is more liquid.


Real estate you rent out is probably the prime example of Capital, and many who own real estate (without a mortgage on it) certainly aren't working class.

I didn't find a great source on this, but the average landlord in the US seems to own 3 properties. [1]

In my experience, the more difficult a landlord is, the more tenants they have.
