I think each card should be playable by only one account per season. Anything else is really an exploit. Even though we're used to this system, it's essentially card inflation which brings value down.
IMO rentals should be something like this:
Owner sets total seasonal rental price
Price decreases based on the remaining days in the season
End of season all rentals go back up for rent
Very intuitive, logical, and practically impossible to exploit.
