You fail to understand the roots of that hatred of landlords. The people aren't really upsets at the individual landlord but the system that allows private landlords to exist. They want to change that system.
Op is being fucked because of someone else with no fault of their own. If private landlords wouldn't exist, OP wouldn't be fucked. And OPs landlord wouldn't have to fuck someone over because they are in a bad situation.
So this has little to do with entitlement and with not wanting to be fucked over by someone else for no fault by your own.
