Re: Tenant declaring Bankruptcy--what should I do?

The Bankruptcy doesn't allow them not to pay you and live
there. If they stop paying, you can evict them. The only
additional hurdle is that you have to have approval from the
Bankruptcy Court to do so in addition to the County Court.
When the lease expires they still have to pay you on a
monthly basis to live there. The details of getting them out
after the lease expires if they are still making payments is
a State Specific Problem so your Real Estate Attorney will
have to explain that to you.
