“Rent free” so I’d pay the costs and someone could just be there for free? I can’t afford that.

No... I specifically said "rent free" instead of "free"... You can charge them what it costs to upkeep with no profit, that's my point.

…so now being a landlord is ok if you don’t make too much profit?

I seriously can’t keep up.

It's really not hard. Basic shelter is a human right. Making a profit from providing someone with basic shelter is immoral and unethical.

But is it profit if I’m asking over my expenses to save for a renovation for example?

How much over my expenses can I ask rent before becoming a bad guy?
