It could be because he manages to remain likeable, despite the unsavory things he does. It's not only Meisner and Sebastian, Nick and Hank like him. Adalind says she hates him, but I didn't believe it for a minute. Whether it's due to Claire's acting or how she's portraying Adalind, I don't get that impression because the two of them often pair up during the series. Catherine liked him, Henrietta liked him, even his own mother risked death to bring him back from the brink. While Mia had other things on her mind, she did come back to see him and made a point about him taking his rightful place in the royalty.
Renard managed to remain likeable…? You even blame Claire… but if you're right and Renard was supposed to “remain likeable”, Sasha failed completely. But he did not, because what you claim goes against EVERYTING the character represented.
We have no idea if Catherine liked Renard or she just slept with him because she was in debt to him. She obviously did not bother to inform that he would become obsessed. We have absolutely no idea if Henrietta liked Renard. Renard said she had a lot more knowledge than his mother but did not know how old she was. They were probably just acquaintances, since he did not know her very well. That his mother liked him is obvious so what's that supposed to prove? As a general rule: supporting characters who spend a few minutes on screen in total, never provide enough information for us to know their motives.
Adalind, Nick and Hank neither liked nor trusted Renard. I could add Monroe, Rosalee, Juliette/Eve, Wu, Trubel and Bud.
Adalind: Have you told him [Renard] where we live?
Nick: No.
Adalind: You don't trust him, either.
Nick: Not always.

Trubel: I thought Meisner was Renard's friend. Why would he do this?
Nick: Sean Renard has no friends.
---
Bud: That guy [Renard] is a dick.
To list all examples would take all day.
