Wait, if the owners of the building are also the tenants of the building, then this is just home ownership with extra steps, which was my very first comment.

For one, you get the benefit of renting. Which is flexibility.

What is the benefit of renting from yourself?

I mean, something has to own the building and contract with the tenants, and that something can't have a profit motive without simply becoming a landlord. So, yes, pretty much.
