The landlord was stupid as hell to even give them a lease when they had been previously evicted, IMO.

Just because you've been evicted from a rental residence doesn't mean it automatically pops up on your credit report. When someone is evicted an unlawful detainer is filed against them. If a landlord doesn't run an unlawful detainer check, they won't know.

Also, what a lot of people do is this: they receive a "Notice of Rental Agreement Noncompliance" letter (delivered by a Deputy). They know they don't have the full balance, so they immediately go fill out an application with another landlord. The eviction process has been started, but nothing is attached to their credit/rental history yet. So even if the new landlord runs an unlawful detainer check (along with a credit check), it's not going to pop up yet bc it hasn't made it's way through the court system.
