Here in the US many of us have an old saying: The laws were written for the criminals!
Rhode Island has a long history of favoring the little guy. Many of the wealthy delgates to the Constitutional Convention were outraged by events in Rhode Island. Your laws sound similar to California's.

One thing that becomes obvious in property management, both commercial and residential, is that few tenants start off with the intention to harm their landlord. Usually, people are unlucky and their cash flow dries up. Bad things can happen to good people. Then landlords like your unfortunate sister become collateral damage.
