Best Answer

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.

Strictly speaking, no, they can't evict you for that, as long as you are in compliance with the terms of the lease and making rent payments. They aren't, however, obliged to allow you to stay there rent-free; if you stop paying rent, then yes, they can evict you. Filing bankruptcy could put a temporary hold on eviction proceedings, also.
