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.

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.
