Anyone heard of the fake lease scam?

[Christopher Juntura]

I was at a Meetup the other day and they had asked me about if I had countered anybody on my rentals who wasn't supposed to be there and when you call the police they presented a fake lease to the police to prevent them from being kicked out. Apparently this is going on specifically in short-term rentals and out in the West Coast, which got me thinking how is anybody protected against the scams? And how do you deal with these things if they were to happen?
