(e1/2) A person having a court record of an eviction action that resulted in a dismissal or final judgment in favor of the defendant may petition the court to seal the court record at any time after the conclusion of the action, which shall include exhaustion of all rights of appeal. The petition shall be on a form furnished by the trial court, signed under the penalties of perjury and filed in the same court as the action sought to be sealed was initially filed. If the action was active in more than 1 court during its pendency, a petition may be filed in each such court. Notice to parties of the original action shall not be required. The court may, in its discretion, process the petition administratively without a hearing.
