What if their oldest loses their job and now for no fault of their own the renter is suddenly forced to find a new place to live to accommodate the landlords son? But they've been spending their money on rent so they don't have enough savings to find a decent place?

I will admit that's a good point, although hopefully there would be laws preventing an eviction without notice, but you're right it would be a bad situation, it would definitely be disruptive.

However, there are people who prefer to rent because they prefer the freedom from place to place, I think that's worth acknowledging too.

Although I think you're right.
