Finding public records for landlord complaints or evictions

[Daniel Villagra]

Been hearing that evictions are public records and might be good opportunity's to find tired landlords. I have help in place to work through the legal part (or headache). Does anyone know how to find those records? I've called the MJ office with little success. 

Much appreciated!

You are correct that eviction filings are excellent in locating burned out landlords. Sometimes the filings can be obtained online in certain counties. Other counties will require you to physically visit the courthouse to obtain the records. In the case of Bucks county it looks like you will need to visit the courthouse. Most courthouses have portals for public use to assist in locating the filings. If you bring a camera you can save a ton of time by taking pictures of the documents and sorting through them later and inputting the data onto a spreadsheet. Good luck!
