Can I keep my home if I rent?
If you
are current on your rent payments and file
for bankruptcy, your landlord will not be
notified. If you are behind on your rent
when you file and your landlord has begun
eviction proceedings, your landlord can come
to the court to have the
automatic stay
lifted and complete the eviction.
However, in a Chapter 13 you can cure your
rent
arrearage in a reasonable amount of time
through your plan and continue to live there
until the end of your lease. For more information about bankruptcy, please call us at 408-294-6100, or e-mail us via info@sjconsumerlaw.com. One of our attorneys will be able to answer any questions which you may have in greater detail. Please remember that the foregoing information is of a general nature, and does not constitute legal advice. The facts of each situation are unique, and we must discuss those facts with you before any advice can be given. |
