Tenants cannot pick an arbitrary landlord L for a given, fixed rental unit U. They can pick a different rental unit with a different L.

Tenants pick what they can afford. Landlords charge what the market can bear.

In reality, stuff also happens such as: landlords working several jobs to cover the bills, unable to get rid of nonpaying tenants.
