Depending on where you live your landlord may have to give you a certain number of days notice before you are required to leave the premises (unless you are putting yourself or someone else in danger). Until then, you are not the old tenant, but the current tenant and your rented property can not be handed over to another party.

If the tenant in the apartment filed a bankcrupcy its ok to stay in the apartment still?
The bankruptcy has nothing to do with the landlord. If they pay the rent, they can stay; If they don't pay, they gotta go.
What can landlord do if the tenant has not signed a new lease but still in apartment?
The natural demise of the lease is grounds for eviction. The process varies by state.
Can a landlord come in apartment without the consent of tenant?
Yes, in case of emergency (flood, etc.). If no emergency, landlord is still entitled to come in just to look around if he gives the tenant 12 hours notice (at least in Florida). Of course,that is not to say the landlord should be popping in every week!
What does happen if a landlord keep on taking rent even if the landlord had filed for bankruptcy himself?
The landlord's bankruptcy has nothing to do with the tenant. The tenant still owes the rent.
How can a landlord keep my security deposit if don't move in?
It's quite simple: once the lease is mutually signed, something that is normally done after a security deposit has been paid, then the tenant is considered to have legal custody of the property or dwelling. If at that point the tenant does not move in, the security deposit can be kept. This is because the apartment has been rented out and if at the last minute the tenant decides not to move in, then the landlord has to try to rent out the apartment, which may remain vacant until this happens. It should also be noted that the tenant would also be responsible for any rent of the apartment while the apartment is still vacant and up to the remainder of the lease term.
Tenant files for chapter7 bankruptcy?
When a tenant files for bankruptcy, this will apply to any money tenant owes. In the case of rents, which is not a form of credit, you still must pay to landlord your rent or face the probability of eviction. If you owe your landlord back rent and declare bankruptcy, then you can include this back rent as part of your debt. Back rent is considered a form of credit, because you owe this money to your landlord and he has continued to grant you the right to stay there. It should be noted that whenever a landlord commences eviction proceedings against a tenant, it is never on the grounds of owing back rent. Your landlord's claims against you in small claims court covers that issue.

If you rent to own who replaces the hot water heater the tenant or landlord?
It's just my opinion, but until title changes hands, the tenant is still the tenant, and the landlord is responsible for replacing the water heater.
Lease says that landlord is responsible for lawn mowing. Landlord will not honor this. Can lease be broken by tenant?
Yes he can. A violation of the terms of a lease by a landlord is just as much grounds for termination by the tenant. The landlord can still evict you but less likely will win.
Is the tenant responsible to repair a broken ac unit?
If the air conditioner came with the apartment, then No, the tenant is not responsible. It is up to the Landlord to fix it. I know this because I am a landlord myself. If the Landlord refuses to do so, call a repairman, get it fixed, get a copy of the bill and deduct t from your rent...however make sure you let the landlord know that you will be doing this if he still refuses to fix it and again, make sure you give him a copy of the bill when you pay your rent.
Can a landlord charge rent beyond the expiry date of a lease?
Only if the tenant is still there.
If a landlord allows a property to foreclose does the tenant still have legal rights to return of their deposit?
