If someone is low level, and have inherited a free company, we'd want them to have access to how housing works.
Please insert a dose of reality into your arguments. No one completely new to the game is going to be buying a FC house at level 2. The players buying at low level are going to be veteran players who already know how the system works (and likely already own one or more houses). The odds of a brand new player inheriting a FC with house with a level 2 character through normal means is also extremely small.

There's no one cut off from access to a Resident Caretaker at any time, nor is my suggestion going to cut them off. I can create a new character, make a beeline to the non-city entrances to Goblet or Mist and walk right in even if I haven't picked up the "Where the Heart is" quest (obviously a bit tougher if the character starts in Gridania because they'd have to run all the way to Western Thanalan since you can't get the ferryman to LB to unlock until level 10). The Resident Caretaker is there as always with information for those who ask instead of wanting their hands held and the information spoon fed to them.
