A basic income is supposed to provide enough to live on. So if rents rise, so should the basic income to cover that rise. And the landlords would notice their taxes rising also.

More interesting is what would happen to wages and salaries. If someone's on a wage that's equal to what the BI will be, if it's introduced they could have their wage halved and still have a bigger income. And their boss will have halved their wages' bill.

A basic income would be revolutionary and I doubt anyone has a good idea on how an economy with one will behave.
