The nature of the current economic recovery incentivizes evictions, as there has been a very strong split between winners and losers (often through no fault of the losers -- reopening has not been evenly distributed across industries). Someone who is not making rent right now is likely to be on the losing ride of the reopening, and any landlord would prefer to get one of the winners as a tenant.

Not saying this is a great thing for a society, but without some form of tenant protection that is probably what landlords will do.
