The problem of not sealing evictions is there is no time limit. You got an eviction in 2015 then you have an eviction in 2023. If you had a case on you and it was dismissed you still have an eviction on your public records. I can understand if your a repeat offender like 2 or 3 evictions but right now 1 is a lifetime penalty.
I guess what I’m trying to say is even if bills get passed it should be amended to make them more fair cause yes you as a property owner shouldn’t be penalized for just wanting to make sure you have a good tenant but at the same time peoples finances change and people in there 40’s and 50’s shouldn’t be penalized for something they did in there early 20’s.
