Truth doesn't matter in the US court system, unless both sides are equally well funded. Given that one party owns capital and the other rents, I'd say that seems not too likely.
Unless it‘s a large landlord, chances are that the renter is more liquid.
I didn't find a great source on this, but the average landlord in the US seems to own 3 properties. [1]
