Ok, so follow me, here.

If the renter is spending months to years paying the landlord's down payment, and the renter is paying the landlord's property taxes year-on-year, and the renter is paying for all maintenance fees regardless of whether or not they were used or needed, and the renter is paying all costs of their move out, as well as the outstanding costs incurred by other renters...

what, exactly, was the landlord actually good for? Other than being rich enough to double the purchase offer, turn around, and flip the place? And throwing extra fees in, ticketmaster-style?

The landlord's down payment came long before the renter started renting, and the tenant has freedom to leave and isn't tied down anywhere. I'm still not understanding why you're calling the landlord a middleman... They own the property that you're renting from; there is no middleman.
