When I look at it that way I still say, because we use the market to allocate goods and services in the United States. That's what distinguishes us from the communists. Why should housing deviate so greatly from this principle? If so, why not require anyone who has a homeless person knock at their door to provide them with a spare bed?
Nothing prevents someone from locking in a long-term rental contract. But I haven't seen too many renters looking for ten year leases.
