Can I withhold his deposit for wrecking my plumbing system?

Thanks Andrew and I would have to agree that the inspection is the most never wrecking part of the process.

They open and close with the stick, no strings, and our cats don't wreck them getting in the window like the horizontal kind.

That could include additional cleaning if the guests wrecked the place, or damages to furniture, missing items, etc.

God forbid but what if you got into a car wreck and needed a new car? 

I had animal control after them for a dog that barked in the middle of the night and when the tenants' brother got drunk and wrecked their car I called the police and told them to give him a breathalyzer and when they showed up and he failed the sobriety test they took him to jail.Most people fear confrontation.

I used to buy letters from Flip Fund and it seems as though someone wrecked it for all of us so are there any alternate companies that can provide these without painful background checks?

The buyers just don't care and your broker will be very unlikely to take them to court to enforce the contract for fear of wrecking their reputation.
