Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

I left my ex husband 4 years ago. Prior to leaving I informed my landlord and she notated it and placed it with the lease. She also went into the property and inspected it. Now 4 years later I find that there is an eviction on record with my name on it from this. He had not paid any bills after I left causing the eviction. What can I do to protect myself and or fix this issue for myself?

I assume you are concerned about your credit history. Send a letter to one of the credit reporting agencies explaining what happened. You cannot have things in a credit report changed but you can explain them.

Keep these two thing in mind: With the housing meltdown, eviction is less of a distinction than it might have been before and when there has been a divorce there are financial problems and there have been more divorces than evictions.
