You realize I'm presenting a hypothetical scenario and I'm not even a landlord, right? I was just playing into your scenario there, but that is not required. I suspect every property owner or manager has a different tolerance for empty units. If I can over-charge for most of the building then I can let a unit sit empty rather than lower the rent, this only works for so long. When people can spend more they will and anyone in a rent-seeking business is going to see UBI as money on the table.
