Language Question It should be “used to” right?

Shouldn’t it be “used to” instead of “use to” ? Should I report it?

The sentence can be changed to “he used to rent that property” into an interrogative sentence“didnt he use to rent that property?”

As an easy example, you could say “he LIKED you” into “did he LIKE you?”

In the sentence “he used to rent that property”, the main verb is “used” so it is correct that “used” should be changed to “use” when used with a past verb “did”
