Expungement of Eviction Record

Landlords often do background checks on new tenants, and they may look at court records to see if there are past eviction cases involving the tenant(s). There are also screening companies who provide this service for a fee. It can be difficult, but not impossible, to have an eviction record expunged (sealed) so that landlords and screening companies cannot see the record.
