I would argue that a live-in landlord that does maintenance work or acts as a building super is in fact doing a job.
Otherwise, agreed.
Not really, they're maintaining their asset, just like washing your own clothes isn't a job you get paid for, keeping your house in working condition isn't
Washing the clothes would be a job if you were renting the clothes out.
Washing clothes and building maintenance absolutely is labor.
Rent is far, far higher than the cost of building maintenance though.
