Yes, you can. However, you are not eligible to receive a discharge in a Chapter 7 until 8 years have passed since your prior Chapter 7.

You can negotiate with them to pay the 50% off in installments, but, based on your income, I am not sure how you will afford to make those payments. If you have more debt, you should consider consulting with an attorney about your bankruptcy options.

If I owe money on an apartment I was evicted from, lease is under my name and someone else's, will this be covered when I file?

If you file bankruptcy, all of your non-dischargeable debts will be discharged. Unpaid rent is usually not a problem if you file bankruptcy. Of course, if there was some bad faith in your non-payment, then the apartment owner could try and block your discharge. I have never seen such a debt blocked from discharge, but, you need to meet with an attorney and go over all of the facts surrounding the rental and see if there is a problem. If you file bankruptcy, the person who was on the lease with you will likely become solely liable for the unpaid rent.
