There are other avenues to review but I agree past rental history is important (disclosure I have 15+ doors right now)If you feel bad for them then rent to them.My point is its corporate america and you are blaming the wrong person - you are blaming the corporation but you should be blaming the politicians who create an environment that is tenant friendly and sue happy.

The problem with midterm and longterm is that you are obligated to extend the lease up to 3 years if the tenants wants to because midterm leases are under the same rules as long term.
