I tried to float my floors this weekend and fucked it up royally. Now my $1500 flooring project is going to cost me $5K... how the fuck was your weekend?

Notices of eviction do not appear on the public record, the only thing that appears is the court judgment. So your record is only affected if a court actually issues an order which will not happen after a 3 day period. In most jurisdictions they won't even let you file the eviction until you have a lawyer give the tenant at least a 5-day notice.

The only other way for a record to appear about an eviction notice is for your landlord to sue you for nonpayment, the judgment for that decision will appear on your credit report. Again, only possible if a court actually issues judgment. Just to be safe I looked up what records are accessible regarding evictions and I can't find a single reference anywhere regarding a notice of eviction magically appearing on your record, only the actual judgment.

And again, judgments are not reach lightly and actually have to be the result of judicial process. There is no action that a landlord can take that will automatically land a tenant a legal record about evictions.

AND, if that isn't enough. It takes upwards of 30 to 60 days for those records to even be accessible, which gives OP enough time to seek out a new apartment even if he was served by a notice of eviction from a court.

Do you honestly believe that any person who's ever been evicted, or has been threatened by a landlord with eviction has no recourse or ability to protect themselves?

Frankly, I'm not convinced you know anything about being a landlord at all, and I'm not interested in carrying on a discussion with someone who apparently doesn't know anything about evicting people from property. Do everyone a favor and refrain from giving out advice about this, you're either going to convince a tenant they have no rights or push a landlord to committing a criminal offense. Neither of which is good for anybody.
