Forum / General Property Management / Credit Check and Unlawful Detainer
Just wondering if the Unlawful Detainer shows up in a credit report? I looked up a prospective tenats name in our court record and it shows a unlawful detainer however it doesn't give specifics about the person, ie, Drivers license number, birthdate. Anyway the "tenant" says that it is not her and so I was wondering if there was some way I could prove whether it is her or not. The only reason why I am inclined to believe her is that my husband is currently going through a case where someone with the same name was confused with him. Help I am so confused.

RE: Credit Check and Unlawful Detainer
Theoretically speaking, an eviction should show up on a credit report, especially if a judgment was pursued. I would definitely pull the applicant's credit report either way, to see how their payment history on all their bills look. Best of luck, BD
