Well, if we're talking about a healthy 27 yr old, the answer is obvious.
But there are people of all ages who might find themselves in a similar situation and for whom the consequences of it might truly put them in dire straits.
For instance, someone with a disability who lives on a fixed income could be almost any age. They might need to stay in their rent-controlled home because paying a higher rent is something they simply can't afford. And if it looked like a greedy landlord might be trying to find a way to put them on the street and, oh looky, now he can bring in a new tenant and raise the rent considerably - that to me would be just as disturbing.
