Same in NYC

While I imagine all the above is true, as a businessman faced with potential squatters/inability to evict tenants, I would have to keep rents high enough to cover the potential loss of at least 5 or 6 months of rent every couple of years vice the typical one month every couple of years I do for my properties.
