Yes, if the debt/contract has not been included in the bankruptcy filing, a landlord may proceed with eviction process unless or until notified by the court to do otherwise. It would be advisable for the involved party to be certain that state laws pertaining to the action are properly followed. Actually the answer is likely no. Once a bankruptcy is filed, any and all collection activities must cease, whether you were listed on the scheudles or not. Because you note the tenant filed for bankruptcy, you are aware of it even if you didn't get official notice. But the real question is the date of the debt. Like most rental agreements, the agreement is for an annual lease payable in monthly installments. So if the contract was signed prior to the filing, then the debt would be included. If the contract was signed after the filing, then it is not part of the bankruptcy. There are special provisions regarding residential leases and landlords. It would be advisable for you to invistigate them or contact an attorney. It is possible to evict a tenant even with a bankruptcy filing as evictions are not always considered a collection acitivity. But again, there are special rules regarding this situation. You may not be able to evict for a set time period, but then would be permitted to do so later.
