Some states have rigid laws about how a landlord is to handle a security deposit. In Massachusetts, for instance, he has to put it in a special account, protected from his creditors. Find out what the local law is, and if he has violated the law, you can sue him for return of the deposit, although that may not help you at the Bankruptcy Court. If he has not mishandled it, and you are still there, he has no obligation to pay it back to you, and his bankruptcy has nothing to do with you.

The basic rule is as follows: if your landlord files bankruptcy that is a matter between your landlord and his creditors, not you, the tenant. You are still required to pay rent or be evicted, as long as your landlord has control over the property. This applies to whether the landlord has filed for bankruptcy or if the property is under foreclosure. In either case, if you end up staying on the property, the new landlord will provide further instructions on whether to stay or to move.
