Retirement money" is generally exempt from creditors. You do need to clarify with a consultation with an attorney what you mean by "retirement money". Unless there is a fraudulent transfer issue, you can typically protect an IRA, 401k, and other retirement assets. Mere savings that you want to use in retirement would not be protected in bankruptcy.

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.
