Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Most courts now keep eviction lawsuits semi-private in their court records systems for 60-90 days from the date it is filed. That means that only parties to the eviction, or someone with enough case information (names of plaintiff and defendant, case number, property address, etc...) can access the information. After that time, the record becomes public, and can be picked up by the credit reporting agencies at any time. There is no set timeframe before an eviction hits your credit report - it all depends on when judgment was entered, and how frequently the credit reporting bureaus scan the Court's records.

I'm not sure what you mean by "covered," but if you are asking can a judgment from an eviction be discharged in bankruptcy, the answer is generally yes.
