Could a PoS miner "rent" coins from a hoarder to simulate that he has the required stake, without actually having it?

Pure PoS coins don't have miners in the conventional way, perhaps you know this but I am struggling to therefore see the point of the question. Why would a "hoarder" rent his coins to someone else to stake unless they were paying more than he would make by staking his coins? To that end then, why would a "renter" rent coins from someone to make less than they would by buying some?
Thanks, it was a stupid question, sorry.
