I agree with the thought. Unfortunately REALITY is far different. Our legal system which covers all, leans toward the tenant. Loss to the landlord it is assumed he can afford it and they do not want a bunch of homeless people on the streets. As far as evicting tenants for not paying rent it is or was easier in Florida than in places like NY or Chicago but I expect with covid it has become far more difficult.
As far as collection agencies, they will not spend much effort chasing after a couple of thousand dollars and should they collect they will take at least 1/3 of what they collect
