Yes, I believe that filing chapter 7 bankruptcy will clear such eviction records. The landlord(s) is no longer permitted to attempt to collect from you, & I would say that reporting is an attempt to collect.

Filing bankruptcy will show the debt is discharged. But the judgment will still show.

Bankruptcy will discharge your liability to pay for broken leases.

It will not. It can discharge money owed as a result of the eviction but not get rid of the eviction lawsuit from the record.

The debt yes. The action maybe not.

I think you misunderstand what bankruptcy does. It does not clear up your credit record, it eliminates the rights of creditors to sue you for debts. Please understand that filing for bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step.

There is no such thing as a 'rental record' maintained by any official agency of which I know. The eviction action remains historically of record on the state court database. Your obligation to pay the arrears on your lease, if any, would generally be discharged in a bankruptcy.

If you file a bankruptcy case and use it to discharge debts, then later you should not have creditors reporting that you still owe that debt. Instead, those debts should be reported as having been discharged and that there no longer is any balance due (no remaining amounts owed to them by you).

No. Bankruptcy does not clear information from records.
