Court filings and dismissals
Hello my name is Latoya, and I am in a tough situation and I need some advice and guidance. So, a year ago I have been renting an apartment from a management for about 5 years. I actually liked my apartment that I was renting until about 4 years into living there. I started to notice that the property managers was changing like every 2 months which wasn't a good look. I say this because, I started to get court notices for nonpayment of rent on my door. Now, I have NEVER MISSED A RENT PAYMENT since I lived there. The bad thing is that when you go pay your rent to the property manager they don't give you a receipt and I asked why she claim that they never have. So, what I've done for my protection was purchased a rent receipt booklet filled it out and stapled my receipt from my cashier's check that I paid my rent with to the receipt. When I went to court for this matter I presented their attorney with my receipts all up to date dating from when I moved in 4 years ago. A mediator was also there to help me. I asked was this going to be on my credit and the attorney responded no because I showed order to show cause and we didn't go forth in front off a judge so it was dismissed. Need I remind you this happened to me twice in 1 year with the last begin an eviction notice on my door. This was the deal breaker for me. I finished out my lease and moved out. Now, here it is a year later and I am looking to move from where I am now and I have been applying for apts and have been getting denied because it's showing up on my credit report. What can I do about this can I get this removed? Sorry for the long story but I feel like something needs to be done about this!
