landlords eviction lists

[Casey Tormoen]

Does anyone know where I can go to get a list of landlords who are evicting their tenants?

Hi @Casey Tormoen! Every county/municipality has a process for handling tenant evictions. It's generally a civil lawsuit filed in a magistrate or state court. You probably can't get a list directly, but these courts typically have computer systems, often online, that you can access to extract the data you seek.

Depending on the info required of the evicting landlord, you can easily get their name and address, the address of the property that's involved in the eviction, and possibly even the landlord's phone number. From there, you can reach out to them by mail, phone or text.

There are services that do all this work for you, but just be mindful of the delay they might introduce. Timeliness is often the key to striking a deal with these "tired landlords."
