How could you research their background to have some idea if they are decent and above board?
I would guess this would happen in long term rentals more than short term ones.
Can you write a rental agreement that excludes certain aged people and if you could would it help?
Can you write a rental agreement that excludes felons and other law breakers?
Just what is it legal to do?
This is all just because I am wondering. I don't have a rental property, but it appears that renting now has new dangers that I never thought of.

Most standard rental agreement templates have the clauses that you can't be committing crimes during the rental, but all that does is give the landlord the right to terminate the agreement. If the landlord wants to claim damage, it's usually limited to the security deposit. Not near the amount necessary to right the situation as described in the Lynnhaven incident.
