the owner could rent out their own house and rent someone elses.

it does make sense if you want to save a nice retirement home for yourself or a place where you want to raise your children while you work and live somewhere else.

that only works with a complete loop of landlord/renters and hence doesn't help anyone rent who can't own themselves....

right, i was just trying to point out that it would not make renting single family homes illegal.

it doesn't have to be a closed loop though. owners could be (and in my example most likely would be) renting an apartment/flat in the city which is not privately owned)
