This practice of blaming the customer for damage they did not do is not uncommon.....yet it is unfortunate. This is exactly why you must rent from an honest and reputable person....even if it costs you a little more (which it likely wouldnt)
Take "time dated" photos of every scratch and ding on the scooter prior to renting. Put the time of the rental on the contract and make the rentee initial the time. Now you have your proof damage was there prior to rental. I have never once had a problem using this method.
If you are looking for no nonsense bike rentals try Prento on the beach.He is located next to Coral Seas Garden across from Coconut International's lane.He has scooters ,shadows, and cars for rent;I have been renting from him for many years and never had a problem.If you negotiate a price that you are both happy with he will honour that price so long as you continue to go back to him.You might have to ask to talk to Prento if he has someone else working at the time you inquire.
