Using Eviction Data in PropertyRadar

Eviction Data in PropertyRadar 5.0 helps you find properties where a current owner has been involved in a court-filed eviction case in the last 60 days, often long before any recorder document exists, and at the exact moment landlord motivation may be at its is highest.

It’s designed for users who want to reach tired, eviction-motivated landlords earlier, while having enough context to stay sensitive to the situation and compliant with local rules.

Note: Eviction Data does not represent all evictions

While new court-sourced Eviction Data is more complete and timely than other models, it still has important limitations:

Geographic coverage:
Eviction Data is only available in the states and counties where we currently receive court filings. Coverage will vary by location and will expand over time.
Matching to people and properties:
Eviction records are filed in court against people (plaintiff vs. defendants), not against specific properties, and they rarely include clean property addresses. PropertyRadar must match court parties to known owners, tenants, and properties. If we can’t confidently match an eviction to a specific property and owner, that case will not appear in the app.
Short visibility window (timeliness + compliance):
Many states restrict how long eviction data can be exposed or used commercially. PropertyRadar applies the most restrictive standard nationwide, so eviction filings are only visible for a limited period (currently up to 60 days from initial filing). After that, they no longer appear in searches or profiles.
Not all evictions lead to a sale:
An eviction is a distress signal, not a guaranteed sale or listing. Some landlords will re-tenant the property and hold; others will sell or refinance. Use eviction as a motivation signal that guides conversations and follow-up cadence, not as proof the owner must sell.

Note: Eviction data can be limited due to state regulations. Check to see if eviction filings are available in your market.

Why court‑sourced Eviction Data matters

Compared to “tired landlord” models and recorder-based approaches:

Earlier timing (initial filing, not after-the-fact):
PropertyRadar pulls eviction data directly from state and local court filings at the time of initial filing, not months later from judgments or recorder documents. That means you see landlord distress as it’s happening, not after they’ve already fixed the problem or moved on.
Real signals, not guesses:
Other platforms typically guess “tired landlords” from length of ownership or age of the building. PropertyRadar uses actual eviction filings with case numbers, filing dates, and parties, so you’re working from a verified legal event, not a model.
Exclusive data advantage:
As of late February 2026, PropertyRadar includes this data in our standard packages. Users gain exclusive access to one of the strongest, most time-sensitive landlord distress signals in the market.
Richer context and better prioritization:
Eviction signals plug directly into Distress Criteria and Distress Score, so you can combine eviction with other signals (tax delinquent, absentee owner, code enforcement, etc.) and quickly see which properties are in mild, serious, or urgent distress.

For you, this means:

More truly motivated landlords to target.
The ability to engage during or immediately after the eviction, when owners are most likely to reconsider holding the property.
A defensible data edge your competitors simply don’t have.

Using Eviction Data in PropertyRadar

1. Confirm subscription and coverage

Before searching for eviction-driven opportunities:

Check your subscription package
Eviction Data is a new 5.0 feature delivered as part of the broader Distress package (alongside court-sourced divorce and probate data). It’s designed for current PropertyRadar plans, not legacy plans.
Confirm coverage in your area
Go to the PropertyRadar Coverage page and verify that eviction coverage is available in your target state and county. Coverage is nationwide when availale at the property level, but not all distress signals are available in every county, so you may see gaps for specific signals like eviction in some markets.

If your county or state is not yet covered for eviction filings, searches using eviction-specific criteria will return zero results even though real-world evictions exist.

2. Build eviction-driven audiences in Discover

To find properties where there has been a recent, court-filed eviction associated with a current owner:

Open Discover from the main navigation.
Click Add Criteria.
In the left panel, expand Other Distress
Click Eviction.

You’ll see options similar to:

Property Has Eviction? – Yes/No
Eviction Filing Date – date or date range

To find properties where there has been a recent eviction filing connected to a current owner:

Set Property Has Eviction? = Yes
And/or set an Eviction Filing Date range (for example, Last 30 Days).

Then layer on any other criteria you need, such as:

Location – by city, ZIP, county, or custom shape.
Property type/characteristics – single-family, 2–4 unit, 5+ units, lot size, beds/baths.
Owner profile – absentee owner, owner age, mailing address out of area.
Financial distress – equity %, estimated value, tax delinquent, liens, code enforcement, etc.

Click Update Results to see properties that:

Have at least one recent court-filed eviction associated with them; and
Are still currently owned by the owner during and after the eviction filing window.

Automation tip: use relative date ranges

When using Eviction Filing Date in monitored lists and automations:

Prefer relative ranges such as:
- This Week
- Last 14 Days
- Last 30 Days

Over time, this lets your automation continuously capture new court filings as they appear, within the allowed 60-day visibility window, without you having to constantly update fixed calendar dates.

Open the Eviction Filings table for a contact

For owners with eviction activity, the Eviction Filings table surfaces the key details from the court case so you can verify each opportunity and tailor your outreach.

To view Eviction Filings:

From a list or Discover results, open a Property Profile.
Go to the Contact tab for an owner.
If that owner has one or more matched eviction filings, an Eviction Filings table appears.

Each row usually contains fields like:

Court / Jurisdiction
County (County, ST)
Eviction Filing Date
Case Number
Plaintiff (usually the landlord / property owner or entity)
Defendant (tenant / occupant)
Attorney (when available)

In some cases, you may see plaintiff and defendant names even when matching is incomplete; this reflects raw court data being shown to help you verify and research opportunities, even if we could not fully attach the case to a specific property or person in PropertyRadar.

Use the Eviction Filings table to:

Confirm who you are contacting (for example, plaintiff/landlord vs. defendant/tenant).
Cross-check details against public court sites if needed.
Adjust your tone and urgency based on how recent the filing is and whether the case appears to still be active.

BONUS: Combine Eviction Data with Limit, Nearest, and Distress Score

Eviction Data becomes even more powerful when paired with other tools in Discover.

Example: High-intent eviction list with Limit + Distress Score

In Discover, open Distress Criteria → Eviction.
Set:
- Property Has Eviction? = Yes
- Eviction Filing Date = Last 30 Days
Add Limit Criteria to cap results at, say, 250 properties.
Sort by:
- Distress Score,
- Estimated Value, or
- Equity %

This helps you focus time and marketing budget on the best eviction-driven opportunities, properties stacking eviction with other strong distress or investment characteristics.

A note on sensitivity, compliance, and responsible use

Eviction Data points to tenants and landlords in a highly stressful legal and financial situation. We strongly recommend:

Using Eviction Data as part of empathetic, Good Neighbor Marketing, not aggressive or exploitative outreach.
Focusing your message on helping and solving problems (for example, easing the burden of property management, providing exit options, or improving cash flow).
Never using PropertyRadar data as a tenant-screening product or to deny housing opportunities. Many jurisdictions restrict how eviction data may be used commercially, especially for tenant screening, and may require dismissal filters and strict retention limits.
Following the Good Neighbor Marketing Pledge:
- Keep your marketing legal, honest, and transparent.
- Avoid “scammy, spammy, or insensitive” messaging, especially around highly personal distress events.
- Never include details in your outreach that would feel embarrassing or invasive if misdelivered to a neighbor.

Handled well, eviction-driven opportunities can become win–win outcomes: landlords get out of a painful situation, and you build a strong reputation as a problem-solver.

FAQs

What is Eviction Data in PropertyRadar?

Eviction Data in PropertyRadar is eviction-related information sourced directly from state and local court filings at the time of initial filing, not from delayed recorder documents or modeled “tired landlord” scores.

PropertyRadar matches court parties (plaintiff and defendants) to property owners, tenants, and addresses where possible, then sets eviction-related signals and Filings tables so you can search for properties where there has been a qualifying, recent eviction filing tied to a current owner.

Why do my eviction lead counts look different than my old “tired landlord” lists?

If you previously worked “tired landlords” using length of ownership, property age, or generic absentee filters, your counts may look very different now because:

Eviction Data is court-sourced at initial filing, and
It uses explicit case matching and date logic, not ownership-duration guesses.

Why do I see no Eviction Data results in my market?

If you see no Eviction Data where you would reasonably expect evictions:

Coverage:
Your county or state may not yet be covered for court-sourced eviction data. Check the Coverage page and compare to adjacent geos.
Matching limitations:
Court records often include parties but no clean property address, and some cases cannot be confidently matched to PropertyRadar owners or properties. Those cases are excluded to protect data quality.
Filters too tight:
Very narrow Eviction Filing Date ranges or additional criteria (equity, property type, high value, etc.) can filter out valid cases.

If broad searches (for example, county-wide, last 60 days, minimal filters) still return no Eviction Data, the most likely reason is coverage or matching, not that there are no evictions in your market.

How should I set Eviction Filing Date ranges for automations?

For automations and monitored lists that use Eviction Filing Date, we recommend:

This Week – for high-urgency, “call now” campaigns.
Last 14–30 Days – for an always-on pipeline that keeps new filings flowing in.

Because eviction data is only visible for a limited time (currently up to 60 days from filing), using relative ranges ensures your automation keeps picking up fresh filings as they arrive, instead of locking you into a past date window.

Combine this with:

Property Has Eviction? = Yes, and
Your usual filters (location, property type, equity, absentee owner, owner age)

to build targeted, always-updating eviction campaigns.
