Does your friend need a second property? If there was such a ban someone else could buy it that would have stayed in it/rented it anyway

How exactly do you think somebody else could have rented that property if somebody wasn't allowed to purchase it for the purpose of renting it out?

You misread what I said. The person would have bought it instead of having to rent it from your friend

Many people who rent do so because renting is better for them than buying.
