It won't deter everyone but it will deter many players, leaving more houses available for those who will actually use their house.
It's also one of the few things LotRO did right that wasn't a problem, especially since you could prepay rent out to a month or two, and would get mailed when you were down to your last week.

Some people need to learn how to manage their money, and this is a far better place to do it than IRL.

Only real reason I look down on it is because (AFAIK) you can't crossbreed in an apartment as that must be done at a house. IMO I don't think gardening should be attached to housing and I'm hoping that changes with Endwalkers.
