Statute of limitations on collection of funds owed after eviction

Bankruptcy and Debt 3 views 2 answers
My tenant was evicted by the courts. He has stayed under the radar (i.e. unable to locate, not employed) for a year - How long do I have to file for the money still owed to me? At what point does the eviction become part of his credit report?
