Most individuals don't have a printing press so they can keep on going like the government does.

Tenants who know how to play the game have fertile ground for doing exactly that, delaying for sometime until a novice landlord has learned enough and gotten enough documentation to finally press an end to the antics. 

Saying renters will pay in the future is not avoiding this issue because everyone knows they will never pay and the government is forcing you to make a loan to person who is unlikely to ever pay and if pressed will declare bankruptcy.
