Screening reports not Showing Pandemic Evictions - appfolio?

Got an email from Appfolio, I do screening reports through them. They are not going to show Evictions filed during the pandemic.

"Given the risk to businesses considering eviction records during the effective dates of the legislation referenced above, AppFolio will no
longer be reporting Landlord Tenant records (i.e. eviction records) created and/or filed from March 1, 2020 until August 31, 2021 on our
screening reports effective immediately"

Cleveland Did an amazing job getting rental assistance to struggling tenants ( I helped get 15K of rental assistance to clients), and they still moved forward with Evictions for Problem Tenants( like the Drug dealer waving a gun at my other tenants)

So in Cleveland, If you got evicted in 2021/2020, you really earned it. I can't screen tenants with a year gap.

Has anyone else seen this? Is this only for appfolio and experian? Will corelogic and Mysmart move still provide that info? They say local rules and regulations prevent it. Does anyone have a guide on where eviction records will be sealed?
