Punishing the tenant doesn't enter the picture.

I've never heard as much, but I still wouldn't recommend you take that risk of being that rare case, just because I don't know what the punishment would be. 

The board will only censure, punish, or possibly suspend/revoke the license but they won't get your money back so you'll need to hire an attorney for that or sue in Small Claims Court.I suspect they'll figure it out once you file a complaint with the board.

Life punishes those who are vague, so have your goals be of what, how much of, and by when kind of things from there it is creating the plan to match the goals and working backwards and fighting to attain them.

First off, semantically  speaking, your discussion lacks a definition for the word "Legal"  While there are contracts in which a breach is a punishable offense, I am assuming you mean "Legal" in the "right to seek compensation for damages" sense.   

How your state/county views and punishes that type of breach of contract varies greatly.

It rewards personal stability and harshly punishes lapses in that stability.

That could result in punishment that is way worse than any potential gain here.

If the tenant doesn't show up again, you can ask for an "execution" (no, it's not capital punishment!)

Tenants hate landlords when they break rules, and are punished for their mistakes.
