Eviction History?

[Madissun]

In 2002 i was evicted from a unit for not paying my rent (yes, i was young and stupid )

Does anyone know how long it would stay on my rental history for?

Oooh, I have no idea! Interesting question though, unfortunately I would think something like that might stay on forever, KWIM?

Oh great! I was kinda thinking the same thing too though. Surely the fact that it was 7 years ago would have to be a good thing?

I plan on finding a rental this year and im really worried about it!

it basically stays there until you pay the debt ....
if you've already paid it they may ring the previous agent for a chat HTH

I heard (so its not 'official') that if you were put on a black list it'll only be one for 5 years. Seeing as though its 6+ years ago, I doubt it would be a stain on you forever. And most people understand young and dumb renters LOL (no offence! Just saying, most understand young people + rental houses don't always mix the best!).

It was paid back in 2002 too...so hopefully it would be ok! I wonder actually if you can call. I know that there's some sort of rental board (obviously!). I wonder if they would be able to tell me?
