The automatic stay which begun when the bankruptcy petition was filed will prevent you from giving the tenant a termination notice. You can proceed with the eviction by asking the federal bankruptcy court to lift the stay. The judge could lift the stay because a lease agreement has no effect on the value of the tenant's estate.
