How many years ago has it been since the eviction? Could you give a bit more information?

Did they get a judgment against you it would be on your credit report?

It sounds like they got a judgment and where I live I have 7 years from the date the judgment was issued to collect my money. If I cannot collect within 7 years, I can renew the judgment for another 7 years by filing a form called Application for and Renewal of Judgment and Notice of Renewal of Judgment I have to the end of the 7-year period to do so.

I have some dead beats that I will try to keep a judgment on their credit report and try to kill their score as long as I can just so they will never be able to buy anything of worth until they pay me first

Why would any Land Lord re-rent to someone they had evicted?

New management and they did not follow through with a back ground check.

You signed a lease, which is a valid and binding contract. In that lease it states that you are to pay rent, and if you don't you will be evicted. It (I'm sure) also states that if you are evicted you are still responsible for the rent for the remaining term of the lease plus legal fees.

ANYONE can serve process, it doesn't have to be the sheriff. The maintenance man, the landlords cousin, the cheker in the grocery store. As long as the person is over 18 and goes through the steps of serving process (handing the documents being served and certifying the process papers) it's a valid service.

Next time, pay your rent as you agreed and you won't have the problem. For now, suck it up, you screwed up, you've got no one to blame but yourself.
