Can I include a unemployment benefit overpayment when filing for bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Rustin Scott Polk (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Polk & Associates
When you file a bankruptcy case, the court will want a list of every debt you think you might possibly owe to any person, anywhere in the world. So yes, you should include the unemployment over payment when you file. As to whether or not your bankruptcy case will eliminate that particular debt by discharging it, the answer usually is yes but that answer can sometimes change when a lien has been filed as you indicated has been done. When a lien has been filed, you have to look at the exemptions and compare those to the property before being able to guess. Something else that effect the answer is the timing of when the lien was filed compared to when the bankruptcy case was filed.

Is it too early to refinance or do we have to wait for the 10 year period?

You do not have to wait to refinance. I had a client refinance one year after discharge. You may need to refinance with another institution if reaffirmations are an issue for your mortgage holder.

Can landlord choose to have Non-Renewal of Lease for persons who filed bankruptcy once lease expires?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Rustin Scott Polk (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Polk & Associates
You can always be evicted for not paying rent. If you have a bankruptcy filing then there is a way to get the unpaid rent taken care of via another method, and that can help in keeping the landlord from succeeding on an eviction case against you. It could be filed in the bankruptcy court or in the regular JP/eviction court (after getting the automatic stay lifted). But either way, filing bankruptcy does not mean you can force the landlord to keep you in his property for free. Subject to some non-bankruptcy laws about preventing housing discrimination, a landlord doesn't have to give a new lease to someone he doesn't want to; bankruptcy doesn't change that.
