The Landlord served me with a notice to leave the premises for non payment of the water bill. Am I protected by bankruptcy, because I did include the water bill in the bankruptcy. I am being constantly being threatened with eviction. I just want to clarify exactly what my rights are. Thank you
You can amend your schedules to include the water bill debt to your landlord. Your landlord cannot take action against you while the bankruptcy case is pending. For when the bankruptcy case is over, you would need to speak to a landlord/tenant attorney to defend against any possible eviction proceedings. However, a debt discharged in bankruptcy is probably not a basis for eviction. This might not stop the landlord for finding other reasons to evict you.
