What the eviction records include
Eviction Related Proceedings are compiled from public landlord/tenant court records and are provided by TransUnion. They have been filtered for quality using identity checks and search logic to ensure the report is as accurate as possible. Please note that eviction records can only go back 7 years and only include records with a final judgment.
Some areas limit what can be returned: see Screening Disclaimer and Limitations.
Eviction records that have a final judgment may include:
- Judgments for possession of property
- Judgments including monetary awards
TransUnion requires the credit report to generate eviction records, so include Credit report and score in your package. More on this: Can I order a background report on its own?
For a breakdown of charges, contact the county courthouse indicated on the report and provide the file number.
For California properties, see California's ICRAA disclosures
Applicant Identity Verification
- TransUnion will verify that the applicant's information matches the SSN or ITIN that was provided.
- The applicant will answer 3-5 verification questions about their credit history that they must answer 100% correctly
- In some instances, including but not limited to lack of credit history or automated identity verification issues, an applicant may be asked to contact TransUnion directly for manual identity verification. If asked, they can contact TransUnion for assistance.
Eviction records can take longer than other reports. See how long screening reports take.
