Question

A few years ago, my landlord started eviction proceedings. There was a hearing and the judge allowed us to stay in our apartment for another 2 weeks with the understanding that our landlord would keep our security deposit and nothing would be owed as long as we either moved out by a certain date or paid rent for that month. We were unable to pay rent, but did move out by that date. Therefore, the sheriff's department was never involved. Does this classify as an eviction? Is this something I need to be worried about in the future when attempting to rent an apartment?



Answer

The filing of an eviction matter is a public record that would be accessible on any credit report.
