Hi Porscha,

Having an eviction on your record certainly makes it more difficult to rent, but not impossible. The further in the past the eviction is, the better, of course. You will need to be able to show that you currently have enough money to easily cover the rent and will benefit from also having recommendations from past landlords. Still, you may be required to put down a larger security deposit or find a co-signer.

Sometimes, large property managers have a strict "no eviction" requirement, so you may have to go with smaller managers or individual landlords. It's always best to be upfront and give an explanation as to why you were evicted and why it will not happen again. Good luck with your search!
