I lived at an apartment complex last year, and since they never held up on their agreements to repair damaged items in my apartment, I paid over $2K to get out of my lease early, which included March's rent, and that would have been my last month there.
I just applied to get a new apartment with my fiance. We found out that the old complex filed evictions against me in the Courts TWICE in the same month. How is this possible?
I contacted the old complex and they said that since I paid the full amount to get out of my lease AND I received a check back for the amount of my safety deposit, I was NOT evicted. They are currently working with their home office in Michigan to find out what they can do, too.
Is there any help that you can give me to find out how to get this taken care of?

You can get a letter from the complex management or owner stating that you didn't get evicted. Then the letter needs to be sent to all the credit reporting agencies with a request that it be posted to your credit report, if they won't just take it off.
You also need to keep copies of the letter to give to future apartment managers so that they can see it is a mistake.

File a complaint with your local housing authority. They will be glad to help. Also, in the future, don't rent from corporations. Rent from people.

Go to the Courthouse, get the papers they filed and prepare a motion to have it tossed out of court.

Very simple. Have that same person contact your new landlord with that statement. End of story.

Start a slander law suit.
