The summary is:
The text is a transcript of a segment from the show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, where he talks about the problem of rental housing in the US. He argues that housing is a human right that is not adequately protected by the current system, which favors landlords over tenants and allows for rampant rent hikes, evictions and discrimination. He criticizes the lack of affordable housing units, the underfunding of federal housing assistance, the imbalance of legal representation in housing court, and the stigma against section 8 voucher recipients. He also mocks some landlords who exploit their tenants, such as a self-proclaimed real estate guru who calls his tenants "too stupid" to know their rights, and a landlord who removed the front door of a rent-stabilized apartment. He calls for a massive federal investment in rental assistance and affordable housing, and a change of mindset away from relying on the private market to solve the housing crisis.
