Brown water on their clothes, gunk in the dishwasher, mouse droppings, leaks all seem like reasonable annoyances in my opinion.

Eg. a thrift store owned by a non-profit will sell clothes, or if you are in need, you can work there and earn credit to pay for what you want. 

And the gap is even wider for women of color.

Sure, with a paid off house you might always have shelter, but you can’t eat your house, or buy clothes with it, pay for your kid’s college education or even your utility bills.

Maybe there were, it's not really my area.I remember one court case where symphony musicians were not allowed to deduct the cost of their performance tuxedos, under the theory that those clothes were suitable for non-business wear.

My answers would be along the same lines as the experienced men and women on here would have.

I heard a podcast about a women who made an Internet comment that annoyed someone, and the other person contacted her employer, landlord, many other anonymously, and tried to ruin her life.I suggest throughout credit and background screening, and renter references if possible, and go from there.
