Neighbour already figured it out, huh?
Ritsuka loves teaching Kozuka how to use her hands for delicate matters. The jokes write themselves.
As for earlier discussion, why is "pay rent money, or I evict you" a legitimate business transaction, but "have sex or pay money, or I evict you" extortion?
Biology. Sex acts release neurochemicals that stimulate emotional dependency and build intimacy. As such, human society, in general, tends to afford greater weight to sexual activity than other behaviors, and so forcing someone to engage in them without honest consent is traumatic, and therefore immoral.
It's not the same for everyone, because people are different, but in general, this is why sex crimes are more traumatic than non-sex crimes, and why casual sex is so hard of a concept for a lot of people.
Money is already the normal means of paying. It's unemotional, to the point and how society runs. It doesn't affect the person who hands the money over.
Selling one's body to someone if you are not into it is certainly the lowest a person can go as far as society is concerned. Well aside from stealing and murder. The only upside here is that she can't get pregnant.
It's even more questionable because she was drunk and thus unable to consent. That's why Ritsuka(landlady) regrets it in the first place. I actually quite like that the title has a twist, that it's not about Kozuka, but Ritsuka.
Of course in this particular story it turned out well, because Kozuka was actually into it without realizing at first. And Ritsuka has been going out of her way to make ammends and hold back. One mistake can't define their entire relationship.
