If you want to rent an apt. you need to resolve the problem with the former landlord (the eviction). If you were evicted for non-payment of rent, then you need to pay the unpaid balance. This then needs to be removed from your credit report.
The only other way you can rent again is to rent from a friend/relative. You also could answer an ad from someone who needs a roommate. That will only work if they don't find out about the eviction or don't care.
Sorry, this is a big no, no in the leasing business. Try to work something out with your former landlord. That would be the best thing. Otherwise this thing will follow you forever.
We had to turn down a woman who was engaged to be married when we ran the credit report on her boyfriend and found he had an unresolved issue with a former landlord and it was a couple years before that time. She didn't know anything about it and was crushed. But we had no choice, landlord's rules.

it depends on the screening criteria of the management. some make it an ironclad rule to automatically reject anyone who has ever been evicted, some don't even check. some don't consider evictions that are not recent. if you have a recent eviction and are having problems getting accepted by management companies, try applying to rentals that are owned by private parties as sometimes they do not check credit

Not if you were evicted for nonpayment.
