How do evictions affect credit?

[Darrell D.]

Hello everyone.

I've done three evictions in the past but I haven't seen the county ask for a social security number. I've heard that evictions affect credit but I don't see how they could unless a landlord specifically notifies a credit agency of a judgment. Any enlightenment on the process or issue would be appreciated. I'm not looking to nail anyone... it's just a question I'm curious about. Thank you
