The problem of not sealing evictions is there is no time limit. You got an eviction in 2015 then you have an eviction in 2023. If you had a case on you and it was dismissed you still have an eviction on your public records. I can understand if your a repeat offender like 2 or 3 evictions but right now 1 is a lifetime penalty.

I guess what I’m trying to say is even if bills get passed it should be amended to make them more fair cause yes you as a property owner shouldn’t be penalized for just wanting to make sure you have a good tenant but at the same time peoples finances change and people in there 40’s and 50’s shouldn’t be penalized for something they did in there early 20’s.

Not just time limit, but it isn’t that you have an eviction if you get kicked out, it’s you have an eviction if any landlord ever just simply filed for one, like you said.
