Limitation of Actions - The time from the commission of a wrong (civil or criminal) in which the Plaintiff must file his/her action to bring you into court. If you have been evicted, and there is a court record, that court record will remain forever.
If you had voluntarily left your house, and then the landlord let the limitations period expire (since I don't know your state and/or specific situation, I don't know what the rule is in your state and situation), you would have a defense of the cause of action against you..i.e. the time period has expired. Since, by your statements, you indicated that an eviction already happened, the court record will remain as a permanent record. It can't be removed in most circumstances.
For more specific information, contact your state or local bar association for a referral.

Statute of limitations could vary in different states. The best thing for you to do is to check into the state laws regarding their prescriptive periods. For easy reference on laws per state visit --> http://www.suetheairlines.org/04_state.htm and select your state.

Eviction is not a criminal proceeding.
