    Have you ever known anyone who tried to rent out their place? My understanding is that it’s near impossible to keep someone’s security deposit when they damage your place, if they choose to fight you on it. I very much doubt that non-corporate landlords would be able to successfully collect damages from a renter with pets who trashed the place. This move will absolutely hurt individual landlords in favor of the corporate landlords that can afford lawyers.

          Nope. All land leeches are leeches. To quote Adam “The Father of Capitalism” Smith:

          "the landlords love to reap where they never sowed and demand a rent even for its natural produce.”
