I don't think wear-and-tear (or even outright damage) from tenants is the big concern. The real danger is someone who truly wrecks your property, doesn't pay rent, in a legal environment where it takes you two years to evict such a person, all the while they might continue to do inflict more damage.

Additional legal protection for renters usually decreases the supply of rentals for this reason, and it's the exact same reason why unemployment rates are higher in countries where employees are very difficult to fire.
