I've yet to run into a landlord who could force me to join the army, throw me in jail, take money from me, etc. The only thing that landlords can do is evict me for failing to pay an agreed upon amount of money, and I even get to refuse to deal with specific landlords if I don't like the deal.
The US IRS claims a right on your income for ten years after you renounce citizenship, which given the hoops you have to jump through to renounce US citizenship is a bit rich.
