Paying rent and taxes and following the law are exactly what entitle someone to more than someone who does not in our society.

“Paying rent”

Is someone living with their friends, relatives, family, entitled to less in a society?

Well, yes. You have less rights over the place you live because you live there entirely at the mercy of the person who legally owns/rents it.

I, a renter, can’t renovate the house I live in. The owner can. You, a house guest, can’t unilaterally decide to change my WiFi password.
