Q: will this court date show up on my rental history when I apply for a new apartment?
I just found out today my landlord is taking me to court for back rent when I’ve been waiting months to hear from them so I could apply for rental assistance. They never said anything to me but today all of a sudden my case got filed. After months of not being able to pay the rent.
I just got a new job in a different city and I need to move soon and this is ruining my life. Please tell me without a judgement nothing will show up on my rental history

A:
You have it right. If there is a judgment against you it will be a public record. However, simply filing an eviction or other case for rent will not show, unless you go to trial and lose.
I hope this helps.
