It gives freedom vs depending on a landlord who can take away as much of your income as he pleases, along with other "essential" needs all controlled by corporations
You missed the point. If the private property relation doesn't exist, corporations and elites, being made of property, CAN'T exist because the conditions for their existence don't hold.
I grew up in the system where the private property relation did not exist and everyone lived in government-owned housing. It's definitely better than being hostage to a private landlord, but still, nothing beats actually owning your dwelling
Whatever the system, if you don't own it, you are dependant on someone, be it a landlord or government. Government can restrict where you can live, what kind of housing, it can deprive you of it whenever it sees fit (building a new road or new residential block), it can limit how much land you can own, etc, etc. So no, ownership is the only way to be free (not without its downsides, but better than anything else)
