What do you mean by "safe"? The rental agreement or lease will not be affected by the Chapter 13, but you as a prospective landlord should make sure the rent amount is in the plan or is supported by the debtor's current income, which would have to be more than the original income. Many Chapter 13s crash in the first year, or before they are completed, and are converted to Chapter 7s.
Check with the trustee or check the docket in the bankruptcy court to see if there have been problems.

There is nothing procedurally that prohibits the filing of a suit against someone who has delared bankruptcy. The bankruptcy trustee will put that landlord on a waiting list with other creditors.

Can a tenant sue a landlord who is in bankruptcy?
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.
