I'm sweating moving for just this reason. I do have some experience at landlording in one of the battleground states--tenant overfriendly--so I guess in this landlord friendly state I can do it, but I'm sure J. random manager isn't going to want to do that.

I get a concern with -over- friendly, and there are certainly some mechanics that are painful that way, but "landlord friendly" is generally ... oof. "We need to protect those who can afford to buy multiple homes from those who cannot[1] afford to buy one".
I've lived in landlord friendly states where the recourse for water leaks, failing hot water, faulty appliances that the landlord won't maintain is ... "sucks to be you".
[1] for varying definitions of 'cannot', thinking of the euphemism of "Bank says I can't afford a $2,000 mortgage payment so I guess I'll keep paying my $3,000 rent payment."
