Rent does not increase when yo get a raise, of of course not, my landlord doesn’t know that I got a raise. But if my landlord knows that everyone is getting universal basic income, then what do you expect them to do? Leave profits on the table? Your argument does not consider actual economics or societal behavior. It assumes real life will be simple: take from one to redistribute to the rest and all will be well. Yet you’ve shown zero facts or resources to back that up.
UBI is a theoretical fantasy that hasn’t worked every time it’s tried.

Where do you get this idea of economy of like a 16th century labourer in indentured servitude? > UBI is a theoretical fantasy that hasn’t worked every time it’s tried. Please present your sources, because the largest scale UBI experiment i am aware if was quitr succesfull. Planet Money even has an episode on it. https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/09/22/552850245/episode-796-the-basic-income-experiment https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2017/09/22/552850245/epis...
