This won’t show up in public records until the judgment. Hope that helps.

Hello, How are you? I have a deep concern that Im truly seeking your advice about. A few months ago my fiance and I made an attempt to apply for an apartment. The policy specifically stated that we would have 48hrs to renege on our decision. This took place on a Saturday afternoon. Well about 8 hours following our downpayment and application process, we decided to draw back our offer for the apartment via telephone. As we spake with the manager of the rental agency, they pretty much gave us the run around, by stating the realtor we previously dealt with was out on apartment viewings, and that Monday would still be okay for us to receive our full refund. When we were finally able to get our point across, we were then hit with the unfortunate news that we would lose more than half our down payment, and that we wouldnt receive any refunds for four weeks. Long story short we cancelled the check and now they have placed the debt on our credit report as a rental collection of $ 205.00. Please help. Will this ruin our chances for apartments in our future? Does it show as a rental negligence on our credit although we never rented from this company before? Thankyou

No. Paying by the 5th is still considered “not late”. It’s as if your real due date is the 5th.

No lawyer can honestly remove an eviction from your credit file. it will be there for 7 years. Best to simply tell your new landlord about the eviction and offer to pay double a security deposit. I know this is hard.
Don’t pay the $1000 owed. Use that towards your new deposit.

Hi there.I’m concerned about an eviction that occurred 2years ago because of 1month of unpaid rent due to job loss.I haven’t tried renting yet at all but need to soon.I have a husband and a I year old child.My husband got a new job and we went from living at mom n dads to living temp in a motel till we save money to rent an apt.My question is I owed $1000 to the apt I got the eviction at and I’m sure it’s on my reports.Well should I pay that first before even looking for a place to rent?There is a lawyer who says he can remove my eviction is this possible?Any and all advice would greatly be appreciated thankyou!!!
