    Default Eviction Case Filed Under My Name and I'm Not the One Being Evicted

    My question involves landlord-tenant law in the State of: Illinois.

    I have a question regarding the evicion that was filed under my name, however I was not the one being evicted...

    Here's a quick summary: I own a condo (fully paid off). I haven't lived there for over 3 years. Meanwhile, I allowed a young family to stay there (close family friends). Our condo association does not allow to rent units, however even thought I was not renting it - it was considered as if I was.. (if a unit owner does not live there OR relative, then it's considered rental).

    As soon as Condo Association found that out, they asked me to get the tenants out of the unit. I notified tenants and unfortunately it took them 2 months to leave (they ahd to find new place..). Sometime in week 6 (as tenants were moving out), the condo association filed for eviction under my name. It said "John Smith and UNKOWN TENANTS". They have now confirmed that tenants have moved out and they will dismiss the case on 10/18.

    Here are my questions:

    1. Did Condo Assosiations law firm did the right thing? meaning that should they have filed eviction under MY NAME? If no, what should I do? (I have court date of 10/18)

    2. What can I do to remove the eviction record? I'm going to court in less than 3 weeks and wonder if there's anything I can do to get rid of?

    My biggest convern is that now i have eviction record under my name and I'm moving in next 2 months. It will make it nearly impossible to get approved for an appartment. Thank you.
