State Income Tax Claims, Federal Tax Claims, and real estate Taxes must be included in a bankruptcy filing. Income tax claims that are less than three years old will usually be consolidated with other debts and paid over three to five years in a Chapter 13. Depending upon income and assets, income tax claims for returns that were filed more than three years before the bankruptcy can sometimes be reduced substantially in a Chapter 13 and eliminated completely in a Chapter 7.

Generally personal income taxes that are over three years old, and were assessed at least 240 days prior to bankruptcy filing, and voluntarily filed at least two years ago, can be included in a bankruptcy. However, most taxes aren't dischargeable. The trust fund portion of employment taxes is not dischargeable in bankruptcy; therefore, an Offer in Compromise is the only way to effectively eliminate the burden of the trust fund portion of employment taxes.

Can past due rent be filed under bankruptcy?

Yes, but the landlord can evict you for nonpayment.


If you get evicted are you responsible for debt after bankruptcy?

This can get complicated, but the main question is, was the rent past due when you filed the bankruptcy? If so, was the landlord included in the list of creditors? If so, in most cases, rent due as of the date of filing was most likely discharged. Any rent, or "use and occupancy" in lieu of rent, from after the date of filing was not discharged.


Can a apartment complex collect past due rent if the apartment has been released?

Past due rent is past due rent, no matter how you look at it. It is money that is still due the landlord.


Can you file bankruptcy on a truck repo past due loan?

No, if you mean, can you single out this debt to "file bankruptcy on." You file bankruptcy on ALL your creditors. You don't get to pick and choose. But you can certainly include such a debt in bankruptcy.


Can a tenant be evicted in Michigan if in bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy does not relieve a tenant from paying his rent: it's not a debt. Rent is due in advance of the rental period and is not an extension of credit. Oh, and a landlord cannot evict a tenant simply because he filed for bankruptcy.


Can my ex-landlord collect unpaid rent during my bankruptcy I no longer live there discharge was July rent due was for June?

Not if you listed your landlord as a creditor on your bankruptcy petition and that there is excess property to pay your landlord after secured creditors and your exemptions. Unpaid rent is an unsecured debt. If a judgment lien is filed, you can avoid it if filed shortly before bankruptcy filing.


What can be done if a Tenant has filed chapter 7 to avoid paying past due rent?

Aside from keeping the security deposit, there is not much left that you can do as far as getting those past due funds as they probably do not have the money. In order to file for bankruptcy, an individual debtor has to prove many things so he probably filed because he in fact did not have any money, not just to avoid paying past rent. You can get in line with all the other creditors to try to collect.


Will you owe the past due rent if you are evicted in Brooklyn NY?

Can filing for bankruptcy stop an eviction?

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.

Is a revolving credit card account considered past due if it was part of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

A revolving credit card account included in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is not considered past due as long as you are making the required payments according to the bankruptcy repayment plan. During Chapter 13, your debts are reorganized, and creditors must cease collection efforts. However, if you fail to make the payments outlined in the plan, the account could become past due. Always consult with your bankruptcy attorney for specific guidance related to your situation.


Can you sue a tenant for the remaining rent due on the lease after an eviction judgment has been issued by the court?

Absolutely! Most of the time when you evict a tenant you want to supplement the eviction by a judgment for damages to include, but not limited to, past due rent. A judgment for both eviction and the damages will then be posted on the official records of the clerk's office.
