There are a number of ways they could provide some assurance. How about a feedback score like eBay, or so many bulletin boards use (something like "JayJay, member since 2001, 270000 posts, 12 positive reviews from renters"). That would at least make people take extra caution if someone had just joined the site and had a zero feedback score.
Without something like that, I would never use this site again. Burn me once, shame on you...
