If you ever
apply for a
place to rent
(for personal or
commercial use),
many landlords
now perform an
eviction search
to see if any
other landlords
have filed
against you in
the past.
Since eviction
records are
actually civil
lawsuit filings
and considered
to be public records,
landlords do not
need your
consent to
conduct their
research using
court abstracts.
Therefore, you
may not even
know your record
was searched
until your
denial letter
arrives in the
mail.
Why
bother
searching?
Because it's
better for you
to be upfront
with your
landlord and
offer a
reasonable
explanation before
he or she
finds out.
