A stay of eviction is a temporary hold on the eviction process that a court sometimes issues for some extraordinary reason. If a tenant is evicted, but there would be a substantial hardship on the tenant or the family, the tenant may apply for a stay of eviction. If there is a genuine hardship, the court will order a temporary halt in the eviction process but only until the hardship or until a reasonable time for the tenant to take care of the hardship passes. In many cases, if a tenant is evicted in mid-month, he or she will not be able to find new quarters until the first of the month after the month that immediately follows the eviction. Hardly any court will put a family and its belongings on the street at least for one month. This gives the evicted tenant some time to find a new home.
The easiest way is to work out the issues with the landlord prior to court and having the landlord dismiss the case. Otherwise, the tenant will receive a letter with a court date and the tenant should show up for court with proof that they've not broken any portion of the lease agreement. A tenant also has the right to a trial by jury.
Tenants can avoid eviction by paying their monthly rent in a timely manner and not falling behind on payments. Also, tenants can avoid eviction by being courteous to other neighbors, whether they live in a house or an apartment complex, by not being noisy, rowdy, or causing damage to the premises or disruptive orderly conduct. Tenants do have certain rights though, in eviction proceedings, such as being notified well in advance of possible eviction, and also the landlord cannot change or alter locks while someone serves out the remainder of their lease or before they move their own personal property.
Usually, the only way is to pay everything owed.

What record? The court's records are permanent.Added: And so is your credit history.
That depends on what state you are in. Some have them online, but the courthouse where the case was filed would surely have them.
If you believe the eviction was retaliatory, then you must state that as an affirmative defense in your answer to the landlord's complaint for eviction. Since the laws can get quite complicated, I recommend you check with a tenant's rights group in your area for an attorney referral or look in the phone book for attorneys who give "free consultations."
An eviction can negatively impact your credit score if it results in unpaid debts being sent to collections. This can stay on your credit report for up to seven years. It's important to try to resolve any outstanding debts related to the eviction to minimize the impact on your credit score.

Typically, staying in a house that is being foreclosed upon is not recommended as it can complicate the foreclosure process and could result in legal consequences. It is best to consult with a legal professional about your specific situation and options.
