If there were a way to know in advance that a prospective tenant was going to damage the place or be a nuisance, or to stay a long / short time (whichever is worse) wouldn't landlords already be using that technique?

The price to fix-up and absorb the damage from a few such incidents is folded into the insurance and current rent price.
