Original Discovery
Newish landlord here. I am trying to find a company to screen tenants but am having trouble with the eviction portion. Rentspree says it won’t return evictions for NY. Baselane eviction option is greyed out for anyone in NY. Rentprep also says no to NY. So maybe it is not possible. Anyone actually get info on someone from somewhere? To try and help myself, I went onto the NY Unified Court System trying to find the info practicing with some sample searches but I can't actually find any evictions listed. I see holdover/nonpayment cases. I guess that info is essentially the same and is better than nothing. Anyway, Am I doing this right? Is there another way to search up this info. If so, how do I do it? Where do I go? I didn't see the records from my town court for a holdover I filed on a tenant previously. Perhaps they don't report to the county which is where the unified court system pulls from. If it is a small town or village somewhere do I need to drive the entire state to every jurisdiction just to find a possible eviction record on someone?
