Is renting an apartment from an owner who bought the property with an interest-based loan, where the rent covers the installment and more, considered cooperation in sin or permissible?

Borrowing with usury is strictly forbidden. If someone borrows with usury and buys a house or goods, they may utilize them, but repentance is obligatory. There is no harm in renting from this house, and the sin falls upon the borrower.
