blacklist is bad yes I agree because it doesn't take situation in mind and current situation may not indicate anything about the renter in the future.
Landlords are in a slightly different boat than say the restaurant down the street. The restaurant isn't forced to provide services to anyone if they aren't getting paid, most places right now have basically blocked evictions (which is a good thing) and forcing landlords to keep people in place regardless if they get paid or not.
Many are turning this into a protest against rent and even if they have the means to pay are organizing rent strikes ... this is going to bite people in the butt this summer / fall when we are out of this mess.
My not so informed opinion is that once states of emergency are lifted if you didn't pay your rent your landlord can take you to the arbitration board in your area ... if you can prove you were out of work then you get X months to pay back your back rent (where X maybe equals 2x the number of months you missed rent) and if you can't prove you were out of work you have 30 days to pay your back rent or your out.
