How do you get an eviction off your credit?
I rented a house from my aunt. I was behind $858 in rent she evicted me so I started moving out. In the process, when I wasn’t there, they went threw out my belongings and took what they wanted. When I first moved in she gave me a stove and refrigerator and told me if it failed to work I was responsible for replacing it. When I moved I took it with me. When she filled she sued me for $3,300. I didn’t damage the property and it was clean when I moved.

The best way to get an eviction and resulting judgment off of your credit report is to pay off the judgment owed either through monthly installment or a lump sum payment for a certain amount in exchange for a full satisfaction of the judgment and then file the full satisfaction in the case where the judgment arose.
In the situation that you have with your former landlord, your aunt, I would contact her to see what she is willing to accept from you for a full satisfaction of the judgment to be signed by her. If you reach an agreement, get it memorialized in writing and paid off.
