In this Spanish‑language monologue, Helena Soto argues that charging rent is not a form of exploitation but a legitimate outcome of real‑estate investment and market exchange. She explains that a tenant’s rent payment covers not only the physical dwelling but also the extensive, often invisible work involved in acquiring, financing, renovating, managing, and maintaining the property. Soto emphasizes that the landlord assumes financial risk and creates an asset that adds societal value, and that renting is a voluntary, free‑market agreement between two parties, not a forced extraction of labor. She challenges the common perception that landlords “live off others’ work,” framing investment as risk‑taking that generates future value.
