Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: How do you rent after an 8 year eviction?

Every landlord has her/his/its own policy as to prior recordand credit worthiness of tenants, and this is their right......but if you have been a tenant in the intervening 8 years and have a good credit history for all that time, I don't think an 8-year-old eviction would bother most landlords unless you resisted it and a court action or police action was necessary.
