Though these tenants perhaps need to be taught a lesson on responsibilities, not just the rights - they may be 'skipping' on cash-for-keys through life and leveraging whatever protections they can get through the system, without a hard eviction on their record the next unsuspecting landlord would take them in and likely be taken advantage of, having to do cash-for-keys as the easier/less expensive route to help make them leave when they begin to cause damage and missing rent payments.

Then they try and talk unsuspecting buyers into crap deals that have weak locations, leases, tenants, etc. that couldn't sell to the experienced buyers and brokers.Nobody wants overpriced trash whereas loss of capital is high and long term upside is very low to slim.
