No, you can't just make up words either. It's deliberately misused slang, at best. Even then, I didn't say it was or wasn't a word. Please try and keep the sophistry to a minimum. I said it wasn't a verb as "landlord" isn't a job and "landlording" isn't a doing word.
That's recruitment, not being a landlord. Recruitment is work.
Regardless of what names they may or may not have, owning something, in of itself, isn't a job.
You're making this seem a lot harder than it actually is.
Being a landlord IS a job. Being a landlord involves work, and work is a job. This is very simple.
No, owning something, in of itself, isn't a job. For example, you own the device on which you're typing you're utter nonsense. Is you owning your device a job?
Have you ever seen a job vacancy for "landlord"?
No, of course not. Thats why "landlord" isn't a job.
Being a landlord is a self-employed job. People don't advertise for self-employed jobs. They do those jobs themselves!
Sounds like you're the one with the ignorance on the topic.
Owning something isn't a job, even if you stamp your feet and strop about it really hard. Thats why no definition of the word defines it as a job. Stop making up meanings for words, its pathetic.
NOT A JOB.
