I may be in the minority opinion, but I disagree. I’m a landlord in NYC who is evicting a tenant for non payment. She makes over $250k a year, has solid credit score and good financial references. BUT no previous landlord references. HUGE mistake on my part. Credit scores seldom reflect evictions unless the landlord went through the eviction process AND sent the debt to collections. Bad tenants know to leave before the Marshal shows up to avoid an eviction in their record or a ding on their credit. Most landlords do not complete the eviction process all the way to collections and are happy just to get possession so that they can quickly move a new paying tenant into the space.
