Can a landlord draft a lease with a tenant after the bankruptcy has been granted and the property was included in that bankruptcy?

Michael O'Leary
Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
A landlord can enter into a post-bankruptcy lease with a tenant, even if he is no longer paying the mortgage. The landlord still owns the property until it is sold at foreclosure, or some other event occurs which transfers title. A bankruptcy filing does nothing to change the title to the property. If the mortgage holder is aware of the tenant they can, in certain circumstances, enforce an "assignment of rents" clause contained in the mortgage, which directs the tenant to pay the rent directly to the mortgage holder. However, this rarely happens with residential property. It is frequently done with commercial property such as strip malls, etc.
