Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
I had an unlawful detainer filed against me. I was able to work with the landlord and the case was dismissed. During the hearing I did ask about the UD showing on my records I was told that it wouldn't. However if I search the court records now it does show. How or what do I need to do so it doesn't show? Thank you

You might petition the court to "mask" the record permanently, so that it won't be available to others to possibly reflect on your credit report. If you have a tenants' organization or self-help center connected with the court, you might talk to them about getting help with the process.
If you settled the case within sixty (60) days of the case filing, it should not be in the court records. If you settled the case after the 60 day point, then you will need to check the settlement agreement or the reporter's transcript to make sure that your request that it not be of record was made known to the court and may have to file a motion with the court to have it sealed.
