Tenancy laws are set up to protect the tenant, which is good in most circumstances. However, many people 'work the system' and they ending up taking advantage it of it. I have won my judgment against this tenant and she is now out. I now have to file paperwork to pursue the claim. That includes paying fees to the registration system and hiring a bailif to track down the tenant and collect the money (garnish wages, re-posses property, etc). In fact most landlords I know don't even go this far and just right the cost off as bad debt. @Jennifer Minge

It sounds like they discourage people from operating rental property if you have to jump through so many hoops to get rid of a non-paying tenant. Luckily for me my state is landlord friendly.
