Yes! An unlawful detainer judgment will show on a credit report despite the fact that money is not owed. Generally, when you apply for an apartment, you fill out the application and the property management company runs a credit report check that includes your "TRW" and a tenant/resident screening service now owned by First Advantage Saferent. In California it was called "The U.D. Registry, Inc." which was acquired by First Advantage in 2004. Some landlords use a single agency which in turn does the dual check, but the process is the same. Your application can be rejected because you have an eviction on your record. Being listed on the Registry can result in higher rents and difficulty in finding a decent place residence in the future.
In California some credit agencies write down the names of every defendant in an eviction case starting 60 days after the eviction action was filed, and keep the names on their records in order to permanently damage the rental chances of these tenants. These companies make no inquiry into the issues of the case; they just report the named tenants in the unlawful detainer actions filed after the expiration of 60 days (when it was unavailable to the public) as bad tenants who should not be rented to.
Pursuant to California Civil Code §1786.18(a)(4) consumer reporting agencies may not report unlawful detainer actions where the defendant was the prevailing party or where the action is resolved by settlement agreement. However, First Advantage is known to omit the record only if tenant shows "judgment for defendant."
