Hot take: you need to collect property taxes plus some reasonable amount of money to be able to afford repairs. Houses break. Five digits worth of repairs are common nowadays.
Yes, there are dicks who are landlords (especially corporations) but letting people rent your stuff for a reasonable amount of money is not ethically questionable. The fact that housing shouldn't be something you speculate with to generate income doesn't mean you can't let people use your things.
