See the thread I've just posted about bailifs etc., I know of several people who have been left with a string of debt collectors, bailiffs etc. chasing ex-tenants for money they'll never get back. Some tenants use rental properties purely for having an address from which to run up big debts - I have a friend who evicted tenants 6 months ago, but the new occupier is still regularly receiving mail/visits for the previous tenant, who it seems has run up huge debts...
