A landlord can legally refuse to rent you an apartment because of a prior bankruptcy in your credit report. However, if you are presently renting a home or an apartment, your present landlord will typically renew your lease without running an updated credit report, and will probably not know that you filed for bankruptcy.

There were over 1 million bankruptcies filed in the United States last year alone. Common sense will tell you that these people are not all living on the street. If you are presently renting a home or apartment, usually your present landlord will renew your lease without running an updated credit report, and will have no knowledge that you even filed a bankruptcy. If you are applying for a new lease, there could be some slight difficulties that can easily be overcome.

Usually the answer is yes, but the law is complex and each person's circumstances require careful examination. Whether you will be able to keep your property is a question that can only be answered by experienced counsel reviewing the facts of your particular situation, including the amount of equity in your property, your payment record, and other important factors.

Chapter 13 is one of the options, but it has many disadvantages. Statistics show that more often than not homeowners who declare bankruptcy end up losing their home to foreclosure anyway. If you declare bankruptcy, you will likely end up with BOTH a bankruptcy and a foreclosure on your credit report. We recommend you consult a reputable attorney should you think you need it.

Not necessarily. If you are current in your house payments, you need not lose your house in a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. If you are contemplating bankruptcy filing, you need to tell the attorney if you are behind in the payments as it is important information to the attorney.

A house / apartment is available for rent, when the two parts involved agree on the respective terms, one to grant use of his/her property, and the other to pay the arranged price for the use of said property.

People who file for bankruptcy are entitled to certain immediate protections from certain legal actions -- part of what is called the "automatic stay" effect of a bankruptcy filing, because many potential legal actions against the filer are stopped (known as "stayed" in legal terms). But as of October 17, 2005, when the new bankruptcy laws took effect, some of these protections have been eliminated. One key change is that filing for bankruptcy no longer delays or stops eviction actions.

If you withhold the rent, the landlord will probably file an eviction to have you removed. When you are served with the summons, you will have five working days to file an answer with the Clerk and deposit all the rent that is due into the Court Registry. The court will then decide on your case. FS. 83.201 refers to withholding rent.

A bankruptcy case is commenced by the filing of a petition. You must also file a statement of your assets and liabilities, and schedules listing your creditors. If you choose to file a bankruptcy petition without the assistance of an attorney, you can obtain the required forms at most stationery stores or at www.uscourts.gov/bkforms/index.html. There is a range of filing fees for bankruptcy cases, depending on the chapter of the bankruptcy code under which you file.

A person, partnership, corporation, or business trust may file a bankruptcy case. Corporations, partnerships and business trusts cannot proceed if they are not represented by an attorney. Only an individual can proceed without an attorney. However, the bankruptcy process is extremely complex, and individuals are strongly encouraged to seek competent bankruptcy counsel. If a person or the entity who owes the money, called the debtor, starts the bankruptcy, it is called a voluntary bankruptcy.

In many cases yes. You will need a signed approval from your landlord when the DISH installer arrives.

Low-income HDC-financed apartments are entered into the rent stabilization system, which would usually mean that your rent will increase by a percentage every year, based on the increase allowed by the Rent Guidelines Board. However, these increases are limited by restrictions on rent increases in the low-income housing programs.

If you file the correct type of bankruptcy for your situation the proceeding not only reduces or eliminates debt but preserves and protects your property and possessions. If you are behind in payments on a mortgage or auto loan you may need to utilize Chapter 13 to protect your property. The type of possession and its value are important factors. You are entitled to claim certain exemptions which protect many types of property from being reached by creditors or by the bankruptcy trustee.
