Hereos Act will hurt landlords in a bad way

Forgive me if this has been posted before. A search didn't find anything. As you probably know, the Democrats in the House passed the Hereos Act, A part of this bill calls for a Federal Ban on evictions of any residential property for non payment of rent. This is extended for 12 month after the pandemic is over. No recourse for landlords. I rely on my properties (which are paid for) for my living expenses. Also in there is a provision stating the back rent will be forgivable. If the Senate passes this bill, I may be without income for a loooong time. Does anyone know any more about this?

Actually, the language states that landlords can not use past evictions against applicants again. It also takes away credit score checks, criminal checks, and mandates you rent to any section 8 applicant. It looks like government control of private property.
