The ability to live somewhere that otherwise would have been reversed?

The land speculators do not provide access to the tenant, they prohibit access. That's what inclosure is. You're blocking people from the land on pain of injury and death.

I can live here, and nobody else.

Until the state decrees otherwise, sure.

But if I decided to rent my home out and they paid me rent, they could live here instead!

There are three people and three houses. How do you decide which of the three people owns all three houses and which of the other two pay that first person rent?
