Evans struck a plea deal in court on Tuesday ahead of his trial this week, according to court documents filed in Fulton County Superior Court.
The records, obtained by the BBC, indicate that Evans was a repeat offender.
His lawyer told the judge his client was “hoping for a future where he can make money legitimately and be part of society like the rest of us”, according to the BBC’s US media partner CBS News.
Jury selection in the case began on Monday and prosecutors showed surveillance footage of a red Hyundai driven by Evans, pulling up next to the rental car in a parking garage.
Another surveillance video showed the same red Hyundai arriving at an apartment block, with Evans handling suitcases believed to belong to Beyoncé choreographer Christopher Grant and dancer Diandre Blue.
Grant and Blue had told police that the items stolen from their rental car included two MacBook laptops, Apple headphones, luxury clothing and accessories, and hard drives that investigators said contained unreleased Beyoncé material.
Grant also told authorities he was carrying “personal sensitive information” belonging to Beyoncé.
Prosecutors said the stolen laptops had tracking technology that placed the items at the address seen in the second video.
As part of his sentence, Evans has been ordered to stay away from the victims as well as the car park where the theft took place.
He has been in jail since his arrest in August last year. He was indicted by a grand jury in October and originally pleaded not guilty to charges in January.
He rejected a similar plea deal in March, according to CBS.
The break-in happened just before Beyoncé launched the four-night leg of her Cowboy Carter tour at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
