Eviction record sealing

The public court record an eviction case leaves. Some places let you seal it.

The general rule

An eviction case can go on your public record, even if you kept your home. The record can appear in your credit history and make it harder to rent again. Some states let you seal the record (hide it from public view) or expunge it (remove it permanently). These protections differ by state. Check your state's guide.
