    It really began with the agricultural revolution. As soon as it became possible to store enough food for the winter people started trying to steal it.

      Agreed on the timing, but not the cause. As soon as making a living became dependent on a fixed piece of land, ownership of that land made it possible to demand rent.

        The agricultural revolution was what began the exploitation of fixed tracts of land. Before that people were nomadic; following the movement of prey animal herds.
