    dawg it was an example 🙄

    i am well aware of the flaws in my example, but am using the common factors (plants and labor) to illustrate a point.

    if you’re absolutely insistent on a more watertight example, say it’s renting out land for a new christmas tree farm, whose crop takes 6-10 years to reach maturity. landlord pulls the rug out at year 5, essentially robbing the tenant of their property. (edit: someone else compared it to patio furniture, which is honestly just as good a model.)

    every one of my criticisms still applies. u don’t need to do this “that’s not a great argument” schtick no one benefits from that lol

      The patio furniture seems a more apt example since the tenant probably isn’t expecting a return from their likely decorative garden plants. Whether it’s more heinous to do to a commercial renter or residential is another interesting question though.
