9 of 10 - San Diego tenant Jack Stone is a full-time slacker. The guy has not paid rent in months and refuses to give up possession of the property. After many attempts to solve the problem outside of a courtroom, landlord Tom Crick gives up, files an eviction notice, and obtains a judgment to obtain possession of the property. Three weeks later, however, Jack tells Tom that just that morning he’s filed for bankruptcy--so the eviction is off. Which of the following statements is true of this situation?
Tom is out of luck and should get in line behind Jack’s other creditors. As for the apartment, Jack cannot be forced out of it when he’s in bankruptcy.
Tom is in luck. Since he has already taken the appropriate actions and obtained a judgment to obtain possession of the property before Jack filed his bankruptcy petition, the previously filed eviction remains in effect.
Tom and Jack must retain lawyers to sort out this mess, because there is no set way of handling this type of situation.
Because Jack was able to successfully file a bankruptcy petition, he may not have to move out yet. He must attempt to file a Retroactive Petition for Bankruptcy, with the required documentation from that time period. If he obtains a judgment stating that.
