Can you share (ballpark) how much they want?
"One could even say some tenants further extort their landlords by badgering them into giving them (the tenant) a good reference."
This isn't confined to just rental situations. At one place I worked a lady applied for a job and aced the interview, and had a fabulous letter of recommendation from the former employer. We called her for a verbal reference "just in case" and found out she had been fired for stealing. When we asked about the letter she admitted that she wrote it because she was afraid the departing employee would hurt her if she didn't supply a glowing letter.
Recently I learned that when a bank fires an employee for stealing / embezzlement etc, they try to avoid any law enforcement involvement and they fire the employee quietly after signing a non-disclosure agreement, and give the employee a good reference. They care more about their image that client's funds are safe with them than they care about the person getting the justice they deserve. The employees usually find their next job in the same industry, some of them emboldened by their previous experience, and steal again.
