Dont believe this. Everyone makes a mistake or incur circumstances such as wage loss, health crisis, a horrible landlord (slumlord), ect. Which can drastically cause a sudden change in ability to continue paying your rent in a timely matter.

It just plain happen sometimes. It will not stop you from renting again, buying a car, or obtaining credit. This forum is full of people who's agenda is to instill fear and bully you into believing the hype. Once you are back on your feet, start by planning a savings, so that you can have an emergency fund set aside for unexpected circumstances. Also pay down your debt as you can, which will over time improve your credit rating.

In the mean time be upfront and explain any times of blemishes to rental history to any potential Landlord. Most people with an ounce of blood in their veins will understand and work with you if you are now re-established, and back on your feet.

Not sure what state you live in but evictions are not permanently etched on your records either, there are laws and time statues as to when they will become removed and also deleted from your credit profile. It varies state to state. most are 7 years for the date of default.
