Renting an apt. is not an asset but the up front payment or security deposit is. Once you file that is it anything after that is your problem. If you default in the rent you can't file again for I think 7yrs. Normally they can't touch your home unless you have equity. An apt. has no equity normally unless you own it.

Some rental agencies are steadfastly opposed to renting to person's who have had a bankruptcy. Others are not as inflexible, they are more concerned with past rental history. If the person paid their rent in a timely manner and properly cared for the rental unit. A recommendation from a previous landlord would be extremely helpful, unfortunately that is not always an option. However, with persistence and compromise the person(s) will suceed in finding proper living quarters and rebuilding a good credit history. An informational source can be found at www.rentnet.com

The question is will the landlord rent to you. Most landlords want to know that the obligations in their lease is not dischargeable. If you rent pending a Ch 7 you could potentially include the obligation of the lease in the Ch 7 by revising the case. If a landlord is smart, they will wait to rent to you until after the discharge.

If a chapter 13 bankruptcy has not been discharged can a creditor be added?

The bankruptcy is not discharged, the debts are. A creditor can be added if the plan is not too far along or if you have the excess income to pay whatever the creditors are being paid (percent of debt) for the balance of the plan. If it is a post-filing debt, it cannot be added.


Could you change your chapter 7 to chapter 13 after being discharged?

Sometimes Chapter 13 debtors need or want to convert their bankruptcy case from a Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. And sometimes the bankruptcy court will force you to convert from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7 - this is often called a "forced conversion." The reasons for conversions vary. For the most part, if you are instigating the conversion, you have a right to convert your case. But that doesn't always mean you'll qualify for Chapter 7 relief.
