It can be but I have found that if you have good rental history you should be able to rent. My husband and I filed bankruptcy about a year ago. He then left and I lost everything, now trying to start over with a recent bankruptcy is challenging. I have found no one that will rent to me and I have good rental history.There should be a law, I do not believe that credit should reflect on the rental of a house. Good luck to all that are trying. After filing bankruptcy it is very hard to obtain housing in an upscale area. Some places will not rent to you until seven years post bankruptcy. I have learned that if you maintain a good rental history and aren't deliquent on any of your accounts, then you may be able to rent a house/apartment through a lowerscale or private owner. * i would agree that it is hard but i also think that you can get help and try to get some money back

If you get evicted are you responsible for debt after bankruptcy?

This can get complicated, but the main question is, was the rent past due when you filed the bankruptcy? If so, was the landlord included in the list of creditors? If so, in most cases, rent due as of the date of filing was most likely discharged. Any rent, or "use and occupancy" in lieu of rent, from after the date of filing was not discharged.

Do i pay still pay rent when filing bankruptcy?

of course, unless you want to live on the street. Rent is not what one would consider a bill for creditors to look at, and while filing for bankrupcy, it is the loans that are of question, such as financial institutes, credit lines, etc. Not rent. So pay the rent my friend.


Can my ex-landlord collect unpaid rent during my bankruptcy I no longer live there discharge was July rent due was for June?

Not if you listed your landlord as a creditor on your bankruptcy petition and that there is excess property to pay your landlord after secured creditors and your exemptions. Unpaid rent is an unsecured debt. If a judgment lien is filed, you can avoid it if filed shortly before bankruptcy filing.


How can a landlord collect rent when a tenant files bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy has nothing to do with the tenant. If a bank forecloses on the mortgage, US federal law requires the bank to give the tenants a 90 day notice to quit, if they want the building emptied. But, it could be that the landlord will survive the bankruptcy, and there will be no foreclosure.
