Explanation / Answer

A is the only answer

This option is already practiced in many countries.

All other options are rather confrontational, Remember governments cannot make any money by confronting with groups of people from our own society, They only other way around is to subsidize the rental by paying part of rental,

Beside rental income is something the owner recieves by paying all mandotary taxes like property tax etc, Over years home owners too contribute significantly to government revenues. So there is nothing wrong in paying them back little extra money,.
