AFTER you start the legal clock - by giving your Tenant a 3 or 5 Day Notice to Quit or Pay rent.....you then can get the ball rolling (very quickly) for an eviction hearing.....Once you receive a Judgment.....includes amounts due plus court costs......Make sure you provide the court the tenant's social security number....\n\nTake the original Judgment to your County Recorder's Office....Once recorded, the next time a credit bureau does a hard pull, your judgment will be added as a creditor to their credit report.\n\nDepending on your state, you can then send a demand letter for full payment of the judgment and when they don't pay, you get to garnish their wages!!!!! some states prohibit this, others allow it.\n\ngoogle your state and landlord/tenant laws.

Let the potential landlord know your situation.  Also, they tend to look at the score only, not the actual report.\n\nWorse comes to worse, offer additional security deposit.

You might want to try to rent from a private owner...usually these people dont do credit check..but if they do you might have to get a co-signer or pay a few months ahead of time

No. they run credit checks to see if you've been evicted for non-payment before.

What you need to do is write down a list of repairs that need to be done, send a copy to your landlord and submit a copy to your local tenancy board,if in a certain amount of time the landlord still does not do the repairs then the tenancy board can make him do the repairs or they will send someone to do them and bill the landlord.If in doubt contact your tenancy board they will let you know exactly what to do.

only if you skip out on paying the rent, not move on time or if you damage things and she doesnt take care of the bill before they send a collection agency after her. So, bottom line... nothing will show unless you dont pay or take care of the place.

You may contact the court and ask for the court to set a debtor hearing to find out what his assets are.  If he failed to appear the judge could issue civil contempt charges against the defendant.\n\nNormally, judgments will affect his credit and hopefully that will make him eventually pay you.

You have no legal liablility now, the landlord can sue you if he can prove you did it fraudulently, then you'll haev to pay.

Most landlords aren't big enough to absorb the losses from non-payment.  Many people, when being evicted, trash the home, which can cost thousands.  Court costs add up.  \n\nBottom line, evicting someone isn't easy or cheap, and it's certainly no fun for anyone.  Renting to someone is no different than lending someone money.  There's a contractual obligation to make regular payments, something that you've shown you do not live up to.\n\nSounds to me like you're the kind of guy who pays his bills when it suits you, not the one you owe.  And somehow you think everyone should still just lend you money.  Get over yourself, pay what you promise to pay when it's supposed to be paid, and maybe you'll find life gets easier

I think you would be OK if you didn't pay rent until he fixes it.  I would just tell the landlord that.

Your best bet is to contact the places that you leased and ask them who does their debt collection services for them. Once you have this information contact the collection company and offer them a settlement of half the amount you owe. tell them this is the only way you can pay this debt. if they come back with an offer that is anything more than half refuse it and hang up . Wait a few days to see if they call with a new offer. If they dont , call them and make sure that you talk to a different agent and make the half offer again . believe me they will take it because half is better than none. Now if it was from an eviction it will hurt you in the future whether you pay it or not but it is better on your credit to pay it. A lawyer on something like this is a waste of money when you can handle it so easily yourself. they will try to be strong with you at first but dont believe their lies and stick to your guns on the half. Good Luck !!!!

if the person affected your credit rating, contact FICO immediately. get a copy of your credit report, and then go through the process of writing letters to remove errors from your report.\n\nto move forward in life, business, or whatever, it's very important that your credit is clean!

Tell him, that if his check or credit card "bounces", how are you going to know where to look for him...\n\nAlso, if he pays cash, and then trashes the room, you still want to know where you can "track him down!"\n\nThink of it as a short-term rental agreement. He doesn't get what he wants, until you get what you need, or at least have the "security" to know how you would be able to recover that consideration in the future, should the need arise!

Look for adds for roommates.  Someone else getting the lease will help with the credit problem.  Ask among your friends first.

File a claim in small claims / justice court where you live. Get all the evidence you can that they are wrong and you are right. Where I live, the Justice Court will give you a form to fill out as the Complaint, and pay a fee, and they file it. Find out how to serve your tenants and then they have so many days to answer. If they don't, you can default them and get a judgment, then go after them to collect.\n\nThe Justice Court clerk can't give you legal advice, but they CAN provide forms and tell you the procedures. Attorneys usually aren't involved in small claim matters and it will save you a lot of money and give you experience in case you need to do it again for future renters.
