This goes both ways. Many tenants do so much damage to rental property that by the time you get them out, they've destroyed the property to where no one wants to move in. They will also use the agencies to swindle the landlord out of rent. I know because tenants tried to do it to me in a unit I rented out in Brentwood. Finally the agency told me that if they (the tenants) tried to use the agency again, they would send the head of the department over to the unit and let them know they would take action against them for filing a false claim.
The courts are almost always on the side of the tenant. But then there are the unscrupulous landlords that the name slumlords does apply.
