I understand your view and many share it. We do not have all the information from the original poster. We do not know if the renter has a history of doing this. Actually the original poster may have checked and not found any negative history. The reason could be everyone before, decided it is not worth the trouble.

As stated previously I am not a landlord. I looked into it years ago and decided not to.

I've dealt with attorneys. Interesting fact, the US have more attorneys per capita than any of our competing industrialized countries. Cause and effect? We also have more lawsuits. Yet another added cost to all business.
