Rent? Don't station owners in the Caribbean rent their stations? There
is a station in Colorado that can be rented, Canada..........or am I
missing something here? Does it matter if the operator is renting the
house and stuff or the a remote connection to the stuff.
The issue for some of those places is making sure that those locations
allow remote control operation and all the rules are followed.
I have no problem with people spending their hard earned cash, buying
land, setting up a station, good internet, remote apps and appliances
etc and renting to those that can or want to pay remotely or physically.
It is not legal for me to pay you to operate per the FCC. There is
nothing stopping anyone from renting a station that I am aware of.

I guess I'm surprised by this attitude. I had the impression (perhaps
it is incorrect) that European hams tend to live in urbanized places
where the conditions for ham radio contesting (RFI, line noise, small
lots) are unfavorable, and that consequently they tendto band together
to form clubs that can invest in rural locations. What is wrong,
then, if one or more of the operators log on to such a station remotely.
I *would* be opposed if, as someone has suggested, entrepreneurs set
up excellent stations and collected "rent" for allowing them to be
used for contesting. As I think I've said before, I don't even
believe that would be legal in the US. I hope not.

I checked and added arctic grade lubrication to a rotator.
DC wirings only.
I strongly claim that was a ham radio activity.
I had to shovel the snow away to access that motor and gear.
As I see my activity, it was about ham radio.
I'm sure the next X-box/Wii- HAM Radio game version-upgrade will have
a "virtual remote servicing option" , including your arctic grade
lube :)
Seriously,
If you enter the game of contesting, please do the effort and leave
out the questionable shortcut.
Or, choose a lesser more viable contest goal/other category, when
operating from home.
You can have just as much fun.
If you neeeed the #10 entry, be prepared to walk the miles.
