People lose their fucking minds when it comes to landlords and will ALWAYS see it in black and white despite there being a ton of nuance in many cases.
Guy I know that worked in town got into a really bad accident and ended up unable to work anymore. Ended up renting out a place he inherited from a family member. He effectively doesn't have any family or friends at this point and the state doesn't give a shit about him, so if he went an extended time without tenets, he'd be homeless and then dead within a month because he couldn't get his medication.
I'm sure he's also included in Era's "FUCK ALL LANDLORDS" mantra.
Their reactions also just show me how complete ignorant they are on all of the work landlords do with their apartments/houses/etc.
But, yeah, in your example, they would included him with the mantra, but with caveats on how he should be able to afford their medication easily, and how come he can't just live in one of his places he's renting, etc.
But, ya know, fuck him because he's a landlord.
