i was a landlord in PA trying to evict a tenant who filed for chapter 7 to avoid eviction. Only thing i could do was petition the courts for a relief from stay of bankruptcy to continue with the eviction. Without doing that, the tenant would be protected under bankruptcy law. However, getting the relief from the court can take a month or longer. The alternative is to wait it out until the bankruptcy discharges or gets dismissed, then you can continue with the eviction. Good luck if you have a smart tenant, they will find every loop hole like mine did. It seems like tenants have more rights than landlords.
Yes you can protect it under chapter 7 bankruptcy
Yes.
It's in Chapter 7.
YES! Child support can not be removed even when filing Chapter 7.
chapter 7 you can file every 8 years. chapter 7 lasts 10 years starting with the new laws in 2005. since you filed before 2005 your chapter 7 stays on your credit report 7 years as opposed to 10 years.
Under the bankruptcy law effective on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago.

The above notes discharge dates
The consumer is eligible to file for a chapter 7, six years after the discharge of a previous one. Although bankruptcy courts are begining to be reluctant about it. It's becoming more common that,if a debtor can pay as little as $100 a month the court will only accept a chap. 13 filing.
It seems there is no help. There is copious information for the tenant screwed under a landlord in foreclosure, but a dearth of the same in relation to a tenant renting from a landlord who enters into chapter 7 bankruptcy. It is a such a fertile ground for fraud, and deceptive practice.. and yet no where to turn. Any body out there???
