The landlord is analagous to the capitalist. It's "pay me rent or freeze to death on the street" just like "let me take part of what you produce or you'll starve to death with no job."

People have different needs. Most people that live in apartments don't have the money to just buy (or put a downpayment and pay off) houses. They may also only need the place temporarily. So they agree to just pay for temporary usage of someone elses property. I see no reason to outlaw this mutally beneficial agreement.

Why should the landlord have the right to own more property then he needs for his own use?

Why should anyone else have a right to determine how much he needs and deny him any more than that?
