Same way a landlord pretty much insures his renters can make the payments.
First and last months rent and a security deposit. If the renter can come
up with that much money, he can normally be able to pay his rent.

Horse****.

Then why else would a landlord require that?

To try to recoup at least some of the loss.

They are vetting the renter and gathering a bit of insurance.

Exactly, but it certainly doesn't mean that because the renter came up
with the money for first, last and security that he's going to pay on
time each month.

It is one of the easiest ways to get someone who can pay. As to paying on
time, you make the penalty hurt for being late. That way they only do it
once. You charge them a small amount and they will be late a lot of the
time.
