Bankruptcy lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
You can be sued for eviction if your landlord asks the bankruptcy court for permission to be relieved from the automatic stay. If your landlord fails to report income that can be tax fraud or perjury if he says he never received the money. You would need proof from your section 8 worker.

Please consult an attorney located in Chicago as they are best aware of the rules/charges in Chicago. You can file bankruptcy to stop lawsuits but I would recommend doing so before the 30 days period if not then they can get a judgment which can lead to garnishment/levy/judicial lien on your property.
