Well they can, it just means that the building management needs to show that all the money they get gets reinvested in the building or put aside for repairs. Non profits are much easier to investigate than private companies because they need to be able to justify everything they spend so they don’t overcharge. If it’s a state corporation? Even better, profits get sent to the government coffers to spend on services and you’re sure that the charges are lowered the next year. That’s how our health protection works for anything related to roads where I live and there’s a pretty good reason why it’s the province where it’s the cheapest to insure a vehicle!

I don’t think you’ve worked with non-profits before. Justify to the government or to the board? I’ve only worked with a couple and the salary of the people running it can be very high, look at Goodwill. Non-profits are just quiet enough and loose enough for them to take advantage. That’s a nope on my side.
I’m not the one who’s against alternatives for reasons that apply even more to the status quo, at least I’m proposing a solution and even mentioned that it’s even better to have it under a state corporation 🤷

Implying that the salary of the people currently owning rental units isn’t very high…
You’ve just showed your hand, have a great weekend.
