Paradise, TX Bankruptcy Law Firms & Lawyers

You can be evicted from an apartment without a lease. If there is no written agreement, which is what a lease is, the tenancy is considered to be month to month. Your last question makes no sense and cannot be answered without more facts. As to being sued from a landlord during a chapter 7 bankruptcy, the landlord would have to move to lift the automatic stay and get the bankruptcy court to grant the motion. You know that you have to pay rent in order to stay in the apartment. Seek the advice of the attorney you used to file the bankruptcy. If you filed bankruptcy without an attorney, set up a consultation with one to learn more about your options.

You need to speak to an attorney as soon as possible. It is fair to assume that you will have to pay some money to get out of debt (either to the creditor or to your attorney).

If no assets or creditors were left out of the papers that were filed, you do not need to amend the schedules. They are prohibited from contacting you and there may be a violation of the automatic stay if they have. You also do not need to send creditors proof that you have filed or that the debt to them has been discharged. They already got notice that you have filed. Often, one department of a large bank does not know what the other department knows. If a bank tries to collect a debt which has been discharged, there may be a violation of the Federal automatic stay.
