Can filing for bankruptcy stop an eviction?
If the eviction is for nonpayment of rent, yes, since it is a debt collection procedure. The landlord or property manager would have to move for relief from stay to proceed. However, this varies from state to state and even from one bankruptcy court to another, so check with a local bankruptcy lawyer. Even if the eviction is not for past-due rent, the claim will include costs and lawyer's fees, so the landlord should move for relief from stay or wait, if it is a c. 7, until the case is closed. Make sure the landlord is included as a creditor to discharge any money owed to the landlord.
