Slippery slope to slamlording ?

Came across this ad while looking for rent comps: http://baltimore.craigslist.org/apa/2588121845.html

Renting a place to the first starnger, then evicting, not wanting to clean/fix/paint/replace carpet; Then renting the dump and then evicting, not fixing/cleaning/paintin; Renting as-is, evicting...... And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the slamlord is born.

Copy of ad in case it expires:
"Two houses, 3XXX Tartarian Ct., 8XXXX Seckel Ct, 21227
Call before 9:30am or after 5pm for appointment to view houses. I will be showing the houses Saturday Sept 24th, please call for time.
South West Baltimore County, lovely neighborhood. Minutes from beltway, parks, bus line, downtown, and shopping centers.
Walking distance to County schools. Gas heat, City water. Enjoy the county life close to everything.
Both houses had evictions. Houses need light clean up, some minor dry wall repair, and paint. $ $ $ off security deposit if you do minor clean up-repairs ! !
3XXX Tartarian, Needs MAJOR clean up, carpet, paint. Security Deposit and first months rent only $1,200 if new tenant agrees to do repairs to property BEFORE moving in.
