If you apply for an apartment will your credit be a factor?
To have your credit rating affected by any creditor, they must report monthly to the credit agency. Landlords seldom, if ever, report regularly. They might check your credit before you move in, but usually, the only time you are affected by a rental agreement, is if you default on the rent, AND you get sued for it, AND the landlord gets a judgment against you AND he registers the judgment with the credit reporting bureau. Then, you have an ugly black mark on your credit score. In order to bypass the legal process and go directly to screwing up your credit, the landlord must be a member of a credit reporting agency, and must report to them about you and all his other tenants monthly. Then, if you are in default, it would show the month following the default, or the second month following. Usually, you get one month grace. But if you are 2 months in arrears, and the landlord is sophisticated enough to be reporting monthly, you would have been kicked out already!

What actions must be taken for an eviction?
According to the Relocation, Foreclosure and Eviction page on HUD's website: You should contact a local legal assistance provider for advice. More advice from FAQ Farmers: * Having been in the eviction business for 30 years now helping landlords evict tenants who refuse to pay has taught me one thing I would like to pass on to tenants; first, don't ignore the notice. If it is for non-payment of rent, figure out how you can pay and immediately contact your landlord to make arrangements to pay the rent. If the notice does not state a reason, then you should still contact your landlord and ask why you were given the notice. Landlords do NOT arbitrarily give eviction notices out. Most all have a legitimate reason (and you as the tenant probably know or have a good hunch why). Sometimes you can negotiate with the landlord and he will withdraw the eviction notice. However, if the tenant has caused too many problems and they are good reasons (not improper ones) for eviction, the tenant needs to immediately start looking for another place to live. Sure you can contact legal aid, but you must qualify (most tenants don't), or you could pay a small fee to a local attorney for some legal advice. The bottom line is that the landlord owns the rental and can ask a tenant to vacate as long as he is in compliance with state and any local (city) laws. Additionally, it is important to keep your landlord as an ally; you probably need him to give you a reference for your next landlord.
