Incentive to keep paying rent.



It acts as a gil sink, and one that's a cheaper initial option (and easier to get into) than a house - which allows for a way for players to get into housing. 10k gil/week is low enough that the average player should be able to afford that for a very long length of time.
So, if I'm getting this right your idea aims at being mainly a gil sink?

In that case 10k a week is a joke (just finishing 5 tasks in your weekly questlog is enough to cover that) and wont serve the purpose of a proper gil sink (I probably pay more than that in teleport fees to my house in one week).
