I see that a little differently, if they get 10% of the rent when a tenant is in the unit but get to charge a full month's rent to place a new tenant, and they're marking up repair costs for managing the contractors, then it is actually financially more advantageous for them to put a tenant in the unit that won't pay the rent so they can charge you to evict them in 3 months, make some extra cash on the rehab and then charge a full month's rent for placing another crappy tenant in the unit to repeat the cycle.
