I mean people always talk about much inflation there is, how little gold sinks there are... This could help that out, and to top it off, make it more difficult for people to hoard housing units.

Unless that person is doing something shady like buying gil or selling weird services, chances are that making the rent costs each month would take a good chunk of their time. At the least it would force them to interact with all of their accounts a bit more.
And all this will accomplish is giving RMT more business as they don't ban the buyers, that is why inflation is such an issue. I see no reason for taxes when a simple rule change would do the trick, taxes would hurt a huge amount of players to spite a minority that again could just be fixed in the future with rule changes like we have already had in regards to personal houses.
