If the record was discovered in a background check by the apartments a short time period after the order of nondisclosure was granted, it can take time for the record to be removed from criminal history databases. Typically, 2-3 months. Or, it is possible it was not done correctly and will need fo be refiled.  If that is the case, I suggest you hire an attorney to assist you the next time.
