We don't really have corporate landlords, as far as I know. Can you link to a source? Also, what country are you in? Maybe it's different there.
According to a quick search it seems home ownership is even lower in the down under than they are in the Americas, a region deeply oppressed by rampant landlordism. There's a not-insignificant chance you're currently paying rent to a corporation and not even know it. (or more likely to your parents, this is Lemmy after all)

I think you need to brush up on your media literacy a little bit there. (downvote wasn't mine, it was someone else)
Not sure what you mean by media literacy. In Australia 95% of dwellings are owned by individuals/families.
