I believe the parent comment isn't bemoaning the business practices of these landlords but instead addressing the unethical behavior of its patrons.

> the unethical behavior of its patrons

the patrons apparently don't believe that their behavior is unethical, and in fact, think that the dictates of their rules are unethical, and potentially illegal too.

I think few are willing to sustain a COVID-free lifestyle indefinitely. Using induction some people probably conclude that they might as well not bother.

I see the reasoning and don’t think the ethics of our pandemic behaviors have been fully discussed.
