Um... No.

An employee takes advantage of an employer's abundance of capital in order to receive a regular paycheck in exchange for a little bit of his time.

A tenant takes advantage of his landlord's abundance of capital in order to receive a roof over his head (as well as potentially appliances and furniture) in exchange for an affordable amount of his capital.

A borrower takes advantage of his lender's abundance of capital to achieve goals that would be beyond his reach on his own.

So, you see, both parties benefit. If it were not so, the "exploited" people wouldn't enter into the deal without a gun to their head.
Both parties benefit, but one much more than the other, because one has more capitalist power than the other. If employees, tenants, and borrowers had an even playing field, they would own their workplaces, their homes, and wouldn't pay interest. But they do not, because capitalism reigns.
