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

It's possible, but you'd almost certainly need a co-signer who would be financially responsible should you get into trouble. If you choose to go that route, choose carefully. The co-signer should be someone who is financially stable and with whom you wouldn't lose a friendship should he have to cover your debts.

Yes, but it depends on the managements policies. Some companies will not allow tenants which have certain blemishes on their application. Just call around and ask. Also try landlords who manage their own rentals.

Most the time you can rent an apartment as long as you can give them a copy of your Discharge Records.

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.


I filed for bankruptcy in 2001now I need a cosigner for my new apartment will the cosigner know about the bankruptcycan the bankruptcy creditors link the cosigner to me damage their credit?

I am in the same boat due to illness and I am looking for a co-signer so I can rent an apt. The bankruptcy has been discharged per the court, and it is hard to rent an apartment sometimes with a co-singer. Everyone has different rules. I believe if you filed a bankruptcy, then had a co-signer, it would have no effect on them, only what you do after they co-sign
