That's true; the landowner is certainly worse off losing property, especially compared to the renter, because the former owned property in the first place. The renter didn't even have an opportunity to fall like the landowner. They don't even have enough to lose. I'm not entirely sympathetic to a person who profits off another person's need for shelter.

We have to fight for our right to be paying the bank for property that no longer exists for the next 30 years. Every human being deserves a chance to suffer this hardship. /sarcasm

I'm not certain I understand this comment, but from the tone it sounds like we're not on the same page. Nonetheless, I would regard property-owning a privilege rather than a hardship, and that just because a person who owns property has more to lose, doesn't suddenly make them noble putting that property at risk for the sake of gaining more.
