&gt; IF the government says I can't go to work, then the government better make damn sure I'm taken care of during that time period.

State enforced licensing does this everywhere. 
  
The issue is that the property owner has contractual obligations to honor as well. 
   
It's telling that the anti-landlord types only ever think about themselves, never the long and complex set of agreements surrounding their situation. 
   
In these each party has the wants/needs just like the precious renter. 
   
All the renter has to do is label those others with some denigrating term and all ethical and contractual concerns disappear.

If landlords help young families get a start they are good 

If they hold so many houses that it makes it difficult for that young family to get a start they are bad 

Blackrock and the other companies buying up single family homes are evil swine whose existence should be prescribed by law.
