How about just using two (or more) cheap routers (RAIR?) ... one router
would be the main router ... directly connected to the broadband
connection. Another router would be connected to the main router, and
get it's IP via DHCP (from the main router). That would create multiple
separate networks (even if they use the same IP space).

Your dad's renters could opt to use direct connection to the router
(with a software firewall) or get their own routers.
