Is criminal restitution excused on bankruptcy or not?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Polk & Associates
For it to be "criminal restitution" it has to be an award made by a criminal court, not a small claims court. There are other criteria too, but that's the one that your question indicates will be your biggest roadblock.

Can I be sued from a landlord while going through a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
You can be sued for eviction if your landlord asks the bankruptcy court for permission to be relieved from the automatic stay. If your landlord fails to report income that can be tax fraud or perjury if he says he never received the money. You would need proof from your section 8 worker.

Yes, your landlord can evict you even while you are in bankruptcy. Yes, the landlord is entitled to collect the full amount of the rent you agreed to pay, even if you later file for bankruptcy. You cannot change the contract with the landlord by filing bankruptcy. You must pay the rent or move out.
