    True, at the end of a ten day (or 30 day) notice, the landlord can go to court to force the tenant out. This process will take a while, but it will immediately blacklist the tenant and make it much harder for them to find a new rental.

    So in practice, it’s often better to leave before the landlord goes to court.

        The list is the municipal public record system and you enter it by setting foot in housing court. A lot of background checks will include that anywhere it is legal to do so.

          So what happens when you are blacklisted? You become homeless? Aren’t there anti-discrimination housing laws?

            I don’t think you become homeless but the options certainly decrease by a lot and the quality won’t be as good. Anti-discrimination laws are on the basis of, e.g., race, disability, or family status. Unless there are state laws against checking previous court cases, I don’t think there’s anything stopping that as a basis for refusing to lease a place.

              Damn that’s brutal. Do they treat landlords the same way? If you get caught stealing security deposits, you weren’t allowed to rent to people anymore? I guess I wouldn’t mind if it went both ways…
