In the US, (e.g. NYC) landlords do very nasty things to get their rent controlled tenants to move out so they can raise rent to market rate. And then, if the tenants sue because of course that is illegal, then the public court records can be and are used by all the landlords in town to avoid renting to them, who would dare to exercise their rights. I happen to know this, not because I've ever lived there or had firsthand experience or anything, but I once happened to see a court document on the internet, in which the judge considered an emergency request from a plaintiff to not release information about their lawsuit at an early stage, because it would prevent them from having anywhere to live. In other words, this corrupt system is well known enough that the housing courts acknowledge it as a matter of course.
