I just really doubt there's that many people out there who rolled the dice like that. First of all, landlords can report late to reporting agencies, which will make it difficult to get another apartment later and can impact the person's credit score. Secondly, there was never any guarantee that this would be the outcome -- it could have been something like having to pay back rent on a schedule. If you have the means to pay rent, why bother with the risk? It doesn't add up.
