Have the remaining tenants sign some form of a Condition of the Premises document stating that they agree to assume responsibility for any additional damages to the property from that point forward; meaning they can't come back at the end of the lease and say "We're not responsible..Bob did that.."

Last tenants had given a lot of damage to the house and the owner already started fixing the house at the time I came in.

If they are asking for a new washer but the old one works fine, maybe tell them if they want to put their own in, you'll agree to remove yours for them, but they would be responsible for any damage caused from their installation, operation, or removal, and they'd be expected to take it with them when they leave.  

The buyers failed to qualify for a loan and walked away, leaving thousands in damages and the owner missed out on the hot market.

Also, if you have any damages that you need reimbursed from your insurance, will likely be declined if they think anyone was growing, even if it wasn't the source of the problem (gives them a way out of paying). 

I also like brick houses and harden them with vinyl plank flooring so that damage is reduced at turnovers.

The court order also allows Wisconsin residents that are VPM tenants to terminate their leases with VPM without penalty, and seek financial damages against VPM that resulted from the company’s “prohibited acts and practices.

Believe it or not, this happens.You should obtain a credit report and eviction record search to see if these applicants have a history of breaking their lease and/or leaving property damaged.
