MODERATORS
Sure there's a service and the owner has costs, but it's actually quite unrelated to the rental price in most places. I think the question is about the regulation of markets for basic life requirements. Alternatives aren't very appealing IMHO: social aids (taxes on the rich), charity (by the rich), or persistent homelessness.
