It amazes me the misinformation that is on this page. As for the you will never rent again...well unless everyone who has ever had an eviction is homeless I think you have a chance. I dont know about expungement but I do know you can call the court and ask. Now I will say this. I have an eviction on my record. So all of you Naysayers go ahead jump on the bandwagon. Now let me tell you why. I have been diagnosed with cancer twice. The first was a tumor in my abdomen. Less than a year after having that tumor out I had gotten my dream job as a therapist at the Psychiatric hospital. I had been in my rental home for 13 years. I had a few late payments I will admit. Once when my father in law died my landlord gave me my rent back and told me to take my family to the funeral in another state. I was so happy I cried. Now in the thirteen years I lived there I paid late 3 times and I was given my rent back the one time. I found a new house that would be a better fit for my family and I gave my 30 day notice. My husband is disabled and so am I. He cannot work and I work using my brain so my body being broken doesn't matter so much. I found a swollen lymph node in my neck under my jaw. I figured the stress of moving, new job I am just having an immune response. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed again with mucoepidermoid carcinoma. I tried my best to move us, go to work, and get our home cleaned up that we had accumulated stuff for 13 years. I called the landlord and told him what was going on and that I needed another month. He said that wouldn't be possible. A week later I received a noticed on the door (he didn't even knock) it was a 72 hour quit notice. I couln't move us that fast. I just couldn't get it done. e went to court and explained to the judge why we weren't out yet. By this time I just had the final clean up left to do. The judge asked the landlord after 13 years if he would work with us. The landlord said no. The judge apologized and said he must follow the law. Then the judge asked the landlord since no money in back rent was owed and we had been there so long, would he wave the fee's which is customary when the tenants agree to leave the premises within 48 hours. The landlord again said no.
The judge then said his hands are tied judgement for the landlord for court fee's. The he said have you removed all of your items from the home? I said yes your honor, I just have cleaning left. He said do you have the keys? I said yes and gave them to the judge. He said you have an eviction on your record now,be mindful of how long it takes us to move next time we give notice. He told the landlord that to have tenants pay for your home for 13 years and give no leeway is disgraceful and he ordered us the fee's and aid the landlord could clean the home since he wanted us out so badly and that he would carry the fees for it not us. So long story short. I paid the fee's so it isnt like i owe anything. But he would never consent to remove or even give good reference. I beat my cancer. I live in a home twice as big, and twice as nice because of had work and honesty. There are people out there that will rent to you. Will you get the nice house and beat out other people probably not. But you are going to find someone who will rent to you. Now here is my bit of advice to you. Pay yourself 10% of what you make. Before bills rent anything. Put it in an account, a coffee can anything. pay off those you owe with the rest of your bills etc. dont touch that 10%. Make a 5 year plan. This will be your down payment on a home. You will then pay off your home instead of someone elses. May God Bless you! May God Guide you. You are in my prayers.
