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.

I’m all down for regulating the markets on necessities. Like I said, I don’t think businesses should be able to own residential property at all.
But a tenant/landlord agreement doesn’t only benefit the landlord.
