Can a landlord place an eviction on your rental history and allow you to remain in the apartment yet still keep an eviction on your rental history even though you were never evicted?

Yes, but probably with some restrictions. If the eviction was perfected as a judgment the judgment will remain on the credit report for 7 years from time of award. Bear in mind most judgments are renewable and can be reentered on a CR. That being the case renting an apartment would be difficult without having a cosigner or perhaps paying a substanial deposit. If the eviction is not a judgment the entry will be on entered in the tenantsscreening history that is kept by private companies and can be accessed by landlords/rental agencies. That type of entry generally remains for 5 years. ****In los angeles county there is a tenant screening service and your name remains on there for 10 years. In some cases the people who run this service out of their wilshire boulevard office don't remove names even after 10 years unless threatened with legal action. It will be really tough finding a new apartment, friends have helped me out and have rented past apartments for me under their identity and I live by myself in the unit but I keep a very low profile. In my recent apartment I had to pretend to be an illegal alien to get an apartment luckily they bought it and I have been here for almost two years in not a terrible area but some of the places I lived in before were practically flop houses.

If you were not ever evicted from the apartment then your LL should not be registering (in any official capacity) that you were evicted.
Such false registration by the LL may bring about the consequence of you having your credit rating affected or even making it more difficult for you to get a loan, a new rental, a mortgage, etc.
Such false reporting by a landlord could therefore constitute slandering/defamation to you and even undue expenses.
You should inform your LL, by registered mail immediately that, you want the incorrect 'eviction' registration/reporting removed within 30 days and furthermore that, if the LL does not comply with your request that you shall hold him liable for any future expenses that you may incur as a consequence of his false registration that he failed to correct in a timely manner, when notified by you.

How will an eviction affect renting in the future?
YES. This will show up on your credit report as "Landlord/Tenant history". This will stay there for 7-10 years!
How difficult is it to rent an apartment if you have a 5-year-old eviction no other rental history and no credit?

Does a landlord have the right to tell you who you may have in your apartment?
It depends on the contract you signed. Generally a landlord cannot tell you who to have in your apartment unless you are making excessive noise or someone is living with you on and off and even then seldom does a landlord say anything. Some apartments or condos can tell a tenant how many people can be in their place at one time and also demand that guests do not park outside the building or underground parking. I'd say on the whole that your landlord is stepping on your privacy rights if you are not causing any disruptions such as partying or loud music. A landlord by law in Canada has to give 24 hours notice to enter into your apartment, but can let themselves into your apartment if you are not home for emergency purposes only such as a leaky pipe, etc. ANSWER Open-ended questions like this are tedious, at best. I will forbid visitors who have a history of disruptions. I will forbid anyone I have evicted before. I will forbid anyone I have had complaints about. I will forbid anyone the police have told me are "problems." I will forbid groups of young teens hanging out in your place. Be more specific for a better answer.
Can you get approved to rent an apartment while collecting unemployment?
It would depend on the requirements of your new landlord. Since rents are ussually paid in advance it is not like the landlord is issuing credit. The landlord may want to validate the renter ablility to pay and payment history to insure the landlord is renting to someone he will not have to evict in 30 days. Contact the landlord and let hime/her understand your situation.
If you have an eviction from 1999 and no rental history since then will an apartment complex rent to you?
We were able to rent with no rental history and had an evection from 2000. we are in Ohio ao it may be different but that is our experience. It is totally up to the landlord's discretion whether to rent to you or not. As I am sure you are aware, you are not the most ideal candidate and you could be competing with other candidates who don't have these obstacles. When applying, you should be truthful with your potential landlord, and if possible find other ways of convincing the landlord that you will be a good tenant, such as showing you have a reliable credit history and income stream and even getting a letter of recommendation from whoever you have previously been paying rent to. Another suggestion is to offer to pay extra security deposit or to pay a month in advance, or to get a co-signer on your lease. These are just suggestions for you to try to re-establish your rental history.
Would an eviction be on a background check for section 8?
Yes, it will show up. When you apply for a voucher a complete background check is done on you and any evictions will probably show, especially when you must list each landlord you've had for the past three to five years. But you won't be denied a voucher just because you've had an eviction: each apartment complex or other landlord does its own background check and it decides whether to approve you based on their information. The housing authority can deny you a voucher if you were evicted from a public housing unit or if you were evicted while you had a voucher, inter alia.

How can an eviction be removed from your credit history?
Answerfile for bankrupctygo to the landlord that evicted you and ask them to settle the matter with you, you can then negotiate with them, and if you satisfy the agreement then you can have it at least stated as satified eviction. there is also a possibility that they will drop the case against you if you adhere to their terms.good luckHaving a bankruptcy ony your record can be just as damaging on your credit report as having a eviction-related judgment and any correlated collection accounts. Working withthe previous landlord iis one good way to have the eviction removed, if you have a cooperative landlord and are not dealing with a large property management company. If the previous landlore is harboring any ill-will from the eviction experience and you do not feel that he will be cooperative with you, personally, then use someone else or a company to do the negotiations. Then, it should be viewed as 'all business' to him. Working with a large property management company does make the matter a bit more difficult. Another way is to thoroughly evaluate the information which will be found in your credit report and in your renter's history report. Certain discrepancies can provide you an opportunity to have your eviction removed through court procedures. If you need help with these hire an attorney or have a company like removeevictions.com do the work for you.

If you moved and never were served with eviction papers?
If you weren't served an eviction notice and the case did not go to court, there will not be an eviction on your record. You can check the court records in your county to make sure there isn't an eviction on your record.
Indiana eviction records will they show up in a background check?
Probably not on a criminal record unless there was an arrest made for some reason in connection with it, but, there is no such criminal charge as "eviction.' However: If you were evicted because of unpaid rent, it might very well show up on your credit report as part of your credit history.

If you pay 6 months rent upfront will you be able to rent a property with bad credit history?
Usually, it depends on the landlord though. That's how most people with bad credit get an apartment.
What is tenant screening reports?
Most apartment complexes and rental properties make tenant screening a standard phase of their application process. Tenant screening is the examination of potential tenants by the landlord, apartment manager or other rental property owner. The results of the screening are used by the management to determine whether a potential tenant is a suitable candidate for tenancy. These results are prepared by the tenant screening company in a properly formatted report which we call Tenant Screening Report. It includes the following things about the prospective tenant's credit history, address history, eviction background and previous criminal activity.
Does rental history really matter?
Smart landlords check your historyA smart landlord would check your credit history where unpaid eviction judgments would show up. With him your history would matter. Many landlords don't check. Instead they look to your deposit.Therefore your rental history matters where landlords are careful. In other locations you start with a clean slate.
