Submission statement: did you predict that landlords would be automated?
What other surprising roles do you think will be automated?
How would you feel about finding out that you’re not even talking to your landlord, but an AI?
Will AIs be better or worse landlords? On the one hand, maybe they’ll be smarter. On the other hand, having a robot with no empathy or compassion
This is a literal dystopian nightmare. It’d be wonderful if the minds behind AI started using it to handle problems that needed solving, not problems that do not need to be made worse.
“and refuse to fix your appliances”
Good luck with that……
Illinois for example has laws against this.
In Illinois if you notify a landlord of an issue and it isn’t fixed in 14 days or less you can have it fixed yourself and deduct that money from rent. By law.
There are other protections as well.
Sorry, while this may work in some states it certainly won’t fly in all of them.
The landlord/company may find themselves in legal deep water over this.
