As a landlord how can collect rent owed to me from a tenant that was evicted through the court?
You can try suing the former tenant for back rent due in a civil suit. If you are successful you can obtain a judgment lien that can be used to seize any property they own to satisfy the judgment. You should visit your local small claims court to see if your claim falls within its jurisdiction. It is the least expensive way to go.

Normally the bankruptcy filing has nothing to do with whether or not the tenant has paid his rent. A landlord does not have the right to evict a tenant simply because the tenant filed chapter 7 unless that is part of the lease. The terms of the lease determine if the tenant will be evicted. If the tenant pays the rent, he should not be evicted.

How long does a tenant have to remove property after breaking lease in NJ?
In most states, when a tenant has been lawfully evicted, the landlord has the right to remove the personal belongings of the former tenant from the rental property. Each state, however, has laws regarding what the landlord must do with that property after removing it. Some states require the landlord to keep belongings in storage for 30 days prior to disposing it - in this case the landlord has the right to collect the storage fees from the tenant before releasing the belongings - while other states, such as Florida, permit the landlord to dispose of the belongings as the landlord sees fit. In South Carolina, the landlord has to remove all property and place it on the curbside, where the tenant has 48 hours to retrieve them or they will be disposed of.
