Besides charging a competitive market rent and providing a safe & clean rental there's not much you can do.

Water systems require backflow on commercial & multifamily because there's greater chance for someone to create the conditions that might allow a backflow scenario to exist, i.e. a hose sitting in cleaning solution, or a chemical mixer attachment on a hose, wherein a drop in pressure on the city main could cause those materials to be drawn into the distribution system.

Yep many judgments never collect.Just like deficiency banks will go after a borrower sometimes and wait.With both types they just pay an attorney to file and record it.You leave it alone and eventually one of 3 things will happen.They will file a BK.They will want to buy a house or clean up the credit and will offer to pay part of the balance for a release or pay in full.So if the amount owed is substantial you pay the attorney to file and play the percentages on collection.
