could you be a little more vague ...

This largely depends on the state.

In theory, neither. Like any business, contractual relationship, it should be symbiotic and equally beneficial to both landlord and tenant.

In reality, the advantage goes to whichever party takes advantage.

Well, right now the landlords haver it good in Portland, OR. Rents are skyrocketing. The wages haven't caught up and probably never will. In Vancouver, WA the rents are as bad. 1 bd rm at the reserve is $1,300-$1,900 That's about half my monthly take home with OT.

Just because the rents are high does not mean the landlord profits are high. You actually don't know that any particular landlord has it good.
