Is not a problem I have on Leaserig, because payments to me are made immediately. The moment someone rents out one of my rigs, I receive their payment minus admin & transaction fees (~3.25%-4.5%). Your fees are lower, and rental prices slightly better (from my perspective), so I'd love to switch services. However, I'm unwilling to get jerked around like that. $20k in hardware needs to earn back it's investment every hour of everyday. You shouldn't be acting as a middleman for the funds, as it makes you liable to both parties over financial issues.

I mean, the moment someone rents out my rig, they are taking away income from somewhere else. They should be required to fulfill that contract, which is enforced by full and upfront payment. I both rent my rig, and have rented rigs from others. I routinely peruse the feedback threads of other providers to see what everyone else's experiences are like. I've never encountered a provider who had a problem on his end and didn't over compensate or refund his client. I usually provide anywhere from 15-25% bonus on lost hashing power when there is problem on my end. I've even seen providers compensate for problems on the clients end, like bad pools. The protection doesn't need to be on the client side. Providers have a vested interested in continually providing good service, as it encourages future business. Clients have no particular need to be a good customer, as they can just change their email address and rerent from someone else, should they feel like being a troublemaker. Thankfully most clients and providers are good, honest people just trying to transact honest business.
