The "Professional Tenant" from Hell: BEWARE ALL LANDLORDS!

I just finished reading one of the most incredible and shocking articles for the real estate investing industry. It is about a "professional tenant" (read: dirtbag) who may just be the worst there is.
If you are a current landlord or are thinking about it, please take the 5-10 minutes it'll take you to read this article.
You Think YOUR Professional Tenants Were Bad? Meet this guy -- LANDLORDS BEWARE!! (ok - that was my title, but it is far more fitting)
We've had many great posts on our blog and the forums about how to deal with tenants set on ripping you off, but I think we must discuss this particular case.
Be sure to read the comments below the article as well . . . (most disturbing, IMO)

Wow, that's pretty scary. I hope other would-be professional tenants don't get any ideas. One way to defend yourself against the "deplorable conditions" issue is to photograph your unit before the tenant moves in and have them sign off on a document that everything is in working order.
