It sure does. All he protects himself against is the impolite midnight mover.

Correct.
fwiw... this is the practical reality of the smalltime landlord regardless of lease language.
Large complexes with more "professional" (and rigid) practices have just as many tenants
who will have something change in their life mitigating an early move out. They however
have a few lease clauses which get them a guarantee for an extra month or two of rent from
the departing.
Still, few of them will get more than what the deposit gives them to work from.
Well, unless the development is unpopular or overpriced
which makes them unable to replace a tenant promptly.
