virginia: My husband and I were evicted last year [06/27/09] we managed to get a house but now our lease is running up. We are considering moving to a new place but we're wondering if that eviction will still be on our record. I was told it only stayed on a year in the state of Virginia but I'm not sure. Anyone know?|||Credit report and eviction record are not the same thing as the first poster said. An eviction will stay on your renters record for 10 years and if a previous landlord thinks you were a particularity bad tenant they can petition to have the eviction stay up to 20 years.|||It is a credit report which usually stays for 7 years. Landlords use credit bureaus to run back ground checks. The small ones are usually members of associations that do it for them. It is a business transaction of 06/27/09 under the Federal Credit Reporting Acts.|||The eviction judgment will remain on your credit report for 10 years...20 years if the landlord chooses to renew the judgment.|||A year? No judgments stay for 10 years at a minimum and can be re-upped for another 10 if they are still unpaid.
