QUESTION
Will filing for bankruptcy clear an eviction on credit or rental record?

Bankruptcy can clear debts down to $0 but it does not erase information on a credit report. Prospective landlords will continue to see that you failed to pay rent or had other problems that led to an eviction even if no money is presently owed.

That would be a no.

Filing a bankruptcy relieves you of the obligation to pay certain debts. It does not alter truthful reporting through credit bureaus or other vendors.

Any debt yes, but the credit records no.

I'm not certain it will clear away the historical fact of an eviction, but should show that you no longer owe the landlord any back rent.

Accurate items on credit reports can't be removed. Not by bankruptcy or the credit repair scams.
