I'm leaving the apartment I live in now due to how unsafe they are and I was wondering since there evicting me because I never paid rent for July can they notify my new apartments and get them to deny me? I'm signing my new lease tomorrow and giving them money to hold my apartment until I come up with the rest on Thursday since I have to go to the bank to get it Wednesday. I was approved over the weekend over there.

My new apartment place never asked if I'd been evicted anywhere and they know that I'm breaking a lease here due to how unsafe it is with shootings, cars being set on fire and more too. I was completely honested on my application and told them I'd only been here since March of 2007.

alot of landlord who own property, in bad neighborhoods dont want to spend any money for evictions. They try to fake it, more than dig in their pocket to pay.......find out how legal, the papers are......sometimes just looking at them is good enough. take it to the clerk, and ask if they issued it,
if in doubt. this way youll know what to say on your next app. you should be alright for this one.........

As long as everything goes well with signing your lease tomorrow I don't see a problem at the moment.
However, and this is a big however, you will have problems renting in the future. This eviction will become a matter of public record. Anyone, anywhere can access the information. For free. Almost all complexes will see that info when you apply for an apartment and deny you on the spot. You will have problems renting in the future.
Have you actually been served a summons for court or gone to court? Has your landlord served you with an eviction notice? The LL must follow a specific procedure in order to evict you. If you're not sure you should contact your local courthouse. They will be able to look it up by your name. You may not even really be getting evicted. I know several people who thought they were evicted. Turns out the LL never actually filed with the court. Even if the LL has filed with the court you may be able to void the current unlawful detainer due to a technicality. Then your LL will have to start over. He won't be able to if you're in your new place already. He can still sue you in small claims or civil court though. Well, good luck.

It's possible, if they found out who you were renting to they could let them know...but probably you are in the clear. I hope you love this new place, because the eviction will show up for the next time you go to rent!

If your new lease application asked if you were ever evicted or involved in an eviction process for yourself and you answered NO, you can be terminated from your new lease at will simply for lying on your rental application. Did they ask where you formerly lived for reference ? Expect them to call and check that reference. If they are told that you are being evicted, don't expect that new lease to be offered to you.
Good luck.
