Bankruptcy and Eviction

Will filing for bankruptcy stop an eviction?

Unfortunately there is no set answer to this question.  In some cases the Automatic Stay that goes into effect upon filing Bankruptcy will stop a landlord from evicting a tenant.  However, in other cases, filing Bankruptcy may not prevent a landlord from evicting a tenant.

Consult with a Bankruptcy Attorney for information on how the filing of a Bankruptcy may impact your eviction proceedings.
