I have the means to pay back what I owe my landlord…around $3000. I was one of two people on the lease…and my former roommate passed away since then, so I guess I am fully responsible now. My question is, I am going to be applying to rent a house/apartment in about 4 months, and I cannot have this eviction as is, what are the chances my former landlord (an apt. community) will work with me to get their money and possibly give me some good standing to work with as far as rental history? How does this work? It is not on my credit report, so I guess its up to the landlord to relay this info to my future landlords, unless they do a check for an eviction? Any help on this broad topic is greatly appreciated.
