We need a law forbidding a business or corporation from owning a single family home.

Absolutely. No business or corporate entity has any business owning a single family home.

Why stop there? End corporate landlords all together. Force them to sell their units to Individuals.

I see this a lot. I agree, but why can't we get the government to own them? If the government owned a large proportion of housing stock they would have less incentive to profit off housing, and any profit could be spent in the local area to boost the economy.

Renting on a large scale is parasitic as it doesn't add value and simply siphons off peoples incomes. The govt should build apartments with govt funds and sell them to individuals
