I suspect over the next hundred days.....two things will come up and be a sort of 'lessons-learned' experience.
First, I think landlords are going to be extremely tough on knowing the future rental clients, and ask for a complete background check. It won't be a 100-percent of them, but I would imagine around two-thirds of all landlords will be checking the past history. If you were part of this no-pay crowd? You probably won't find that many landlords willing to give you a fresh new chance.
Second, something of a legal nature is going to be added to rental contracts....where you sign for a 'damages-clause', and if you fail on rent for an excessive period (probably four months)....you agree to a fee (maybe up to $1,000 or more) to be paid as a settlement upon eviction.
The rental properties of value? Those landlords will not be happy over the losses, and this will be a harsh new reality for the renting crowd to get used to over the next decade.
So to this final prospective of mine....I think the mobile-home properties will start to be fairly popular with the eviction crowd. You will find a cheapo $6k used trailer and park it for less than $200 a month, in a crappy trailer-park.

We see the results as thousands of new evictees are buying any RecreationVehicles available.
.
If a RecreationVehicle is not for sale, it has a high chance of growing legs.
.
With many hundreds of junker RecreationVehicles parked on streets, bureaucrats are painting bicycle lanes and posting 'no parking'... closing commercial areas to over-night semi-truck combos... creating a hazard of out-of-hours drivers trolling other areas for a mandatory rest.
.
Another consequence of closing streets to campers by painting bicycle lanes -- hundreds of RecreationVehicles are exploring fields and boarded businesses... putting landlords and property owners in the position of relying on judges for an eviction.
.
After that costly time-consuming delay, LawEnforcementOfficials complete the eviction -- at their leisure -- and the campers shift to a new field or boarded business.
.
Abandoned junker RecreationVehicles are squatted, sold, rented, dragged behind junker trucks... and the cycle continues.
.
Compounding the issue -- "recreation' amounts of addictive drugs are semi-legitimized.
