What happens after an eviction case – and what can follow you after the immediate housing crisis is over?

In Understanding the Eviction Process – Part 2, Circles Cobb Executive Director Barbara Garner continues the conversation with Greg Hill about the longer-term consequences that can follow unpaid rent and an eviction.

They discuss the differences between collections and eviction judgments, how each may affect renters moving forward, and why an eviction record can create additional challenges when looking for future housing. The conversation also explores why recovering from a collection account may be different from dealing with an eviction judgment or record.

Understanding these distinctions can help renters better understand what may appear in their financial or rental history, the potential implications for future housing and why addressing problems as early as possible matters.

This video is part of Circles Cobb’s Eviction Stories & Steps series, bringing together people with lived experience and community experts to help Cobb County residents understand what can happen before, during and after an eviction.
