The information collection agencies report to the credit bureaus is unpaid rent or damages, instead of an eviction. Collection accounts stay on your credit report for seven years from the date the debt became 180 days past due. So, indirectly, your eviction (or a record of the eviction) will cause a negative entry to your credit reports, albeit in the form of a collection.
The court judgment will appear as a public record in your credit report and will remain for seven years from the filing date. Any public record item in a credit report would likely be considered very negative and could affect your ability to qualify for a new rental agreement. If included in bankruptcy, the judgment will be removed when the bankruptcy is discharged. You may want to submit documentation of the bankruptcy filing, discharge, and schedule of debts showing the judgment was included. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy will continue to be reported for 10 years from the filing date, regardless of the discharge date.
