Dayton, Ohio, has recently decided to seal all eviction records. This decision was made by Dayton Clerk of Courts Marty Gehres, who mentioned that landlords often check these records and are hesitant to rent to individuals who have been evicted in the past. Gehres emphasized the positive impact this move will have on children, stating, “One of the most crucial aspects of a child’s life is having secure, affordable, and stable housing.”
