(c) A person having a court record in an eviction action for nonpayment rent on file in a court may, on a form furnished by the trial court and signed under the penalties of perjury, petition the court to seal the court record. The petition shall be filed in the same court as the action sought to be sealed. If an action was active in more than 1 court during its pendency, a petition may be filed in each such court. Notice shall be given to parties to the original action. The court shall comply with the petitioner's request to seal the court record pursuant to this subsection; provided, however, that the action to which the record relates concluded, including exhaustion of all rights of appeal, not less than 4 years before the request and no eviction action for nonpayment or lessor action has been brought against the petitioner within the commonwealth in the 4 years preceding the request; provided further, that the petitioner certifies on the petition that the nonpayment of rent was due to an economic hardship and such economic hardship has rendered them unable to satisfy the judgment. If no objection is filed by a party, the court may, in its discretion, process such petitions administratively without a hearing. If an objection is filed by a party, within 7 days of filing the petition, the court shall conduct a hearing to determine the petitioner's compliance with the foregoing conditions and may require the petitioner to complete a financial statement on a form furnished by the trial court.
