03Why it matters
Evictions cost landlords months of rent, legal fees and repairs. Many decide afterwards that they are done being landlords.
04Where it shows up in public records
Eviction cases are filed in municipal, justice or county courts. Responsible data keeps only the property and the landlord, never the tenant.
05How to find eviction filed (12 mo) in 3 steps
- Step 1, find the record: eviction cases are filed in municipal, justice or county courts. Responsible data keeps only the property and the landlord, never the tenant.
- Step 2, match it to the property: join the record to the parcel by its parcel number and the owner's name and address, so you know which house it belongs to.
- Step 3, add a second reason: stack eviction filed (12 mo) with another list to see which owners have more than one reason to sell. LeadCounty does steps 1 and 2 for every property each week.
06How we count it
LeadCounty counts eviction filed (12 mo) from each county's own records and shows the number for every county in the table above, refreshed weekly. A county that does not publish the record shows no count rather than a guess.
07How to use it
- Stack with owned 10+ years to find tired landlords.
