Well, if I'm a landlord I'll often call two or three of the tenant's last landlords and ask them if they left the place in decent condition, if they were a good tenant, etc.. So there is a review system for tenants as well. I'll also use someone's credit rating and derogatory notes on credit reports as a proxy for how diligent they are at following a contract. And finally nobody here rents anything long-term without a very high-quality contract either purchased boilerplate or custom-written by a lawyer.

So yeah, the law and custom both cover this angle.
