Do they have to listed as tenant vs landlord?

Nope. It lists the tenants 2nd even though they filed against me. Nice theory though.

There's no point trying to rationalize why the court's case search does it like this for Clark County. I'm just giving an example of how ANY history can possibly become bad history, even if you are the originator of the claim.

Do they HAVE to? No, but that is how the court keeps their database of suits in the landlord/tenant court.

You'll know that there was a suit between a landlord and a tenant. You won't know what the details were, other than if a judgment was awarded and to who.

Anytime I check someone's history when screening a potential tenant and I find a judgment against them, I'm usually thinking, "they stiffed someone for their money". When an applicant also has to start explaining things, usually that reduces the chance that I'll accept their application.
