but what I do know is that landlords are banking on your average tenant assuming it's not easy/worth the effort

That, and the fact that renters have a vested interest in staying on good terms with their landlords because of the potential for a bad/missing reference to keep them from being able to find a place in the future (especially where "my landlord won't give me a reference because I took him to court to get my security deposit back" is going to pretty solidly convince the new landlord not to sign a lease). The laws are there, but even when tenants know about them, the power imbalance in landlords' favour makes it pretty scary and potentially dangerous to take advantage of them.
