What are the landlord's rights under Chapter 7?
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.
