Sure, that's a legit concern....which is why any direct subsidy or Progressive Basic Income scheme MUST come with explicit rent controls and direct public, socialized control of utilities and other services to counter the greed instincts of private interests.

Still, it should be noted that landlords and renters eat pretty damn well in the current system, where they can impose enough obstacles, hoops, bells, and mazes in order to claw back the costs of aid.
