What for? There’s no reason to try and force anyone to do anything.

Well, I was just pointing out there ways to do it, if the need arises. I'm not actually convinced, like OP was, that they'd try to continue collecting rent the same way.

Plus, how do they collect the people every day? Unless you surprise them every morning somehow, I think most people would just say no, even upon pain of death (potentially suicide) after the first few torture sessions,

I doubt we'd go back to stretching on the rack or something; besides peoples ethical objections it would be impractical as pointed out, especially when you can't build new racks. But, inevitably someone will get in a dispute with someone else, and will want it solved by force. Cops already rough up or taser people on the spot, and making it the punishment itself would be an easy deviation.
