Did anyone compile a list of ways to handle this problem? I'm all for UBI, but this feels like a show-stopper, and I don't know of any workaround.

The market will solve it if the number of housing units is large enough compared to the number of families, provided no one vendor owns too large a fraction of them.

It seems pretty wasteful, though.

Not that I know of. Traditionally it has been handled by attaching spending restrictions to the income assistance - e.g. food stamps, medicare, unemployment, student loans, etc.
