Public court records are used to create tenant blacklists, making it difficult for tenants with eviction court records to find new housing. Because the impact of an eviction filing is so detrimental, having a court record sealed can often be more important than the actual outcome of the case. Current law allows for the sealing of foreclosure-related eviction cases, and presumably a large portion of cases were sealed for that reason. The law also allows cases to be sealed if they are sufficiently without a basis in fact or law. The 2014 uptick in sealed cases is due in large part to a general order outlining procedures to ensure that all new post-foreclosure eviction filings in the First Municipal District of Cook County be identified as foreclosure-related and sealed at the beginning of the case.
