A judgment is granted to the victor in a court case and would only be reported against the defendant after it is granted. So the suit itself is never reported until a conclusion is declared by the court.
If the judgment was reported to the credit bureaus, the tenant needs to pay it, get the judgment amended to zero by the court, and send that to the credit bureaus. However, the fact that there was a case can never be erased.
