Increase the rent requirements when moving in, run credit and background checks, real background checks, not just a google search, get non-family references.

That should help mitigate some of the scumbaggery out there.

Unfortunately, some states limit your to collecting the first month, last month and security deposit (can't be more than 1 months rent).
