What happens with a chapter 13 bankruptcy and the foreclosure?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey David Solomon (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Jeffrey Solomon
You can still file the chapter 13. You need to consult an attorney as to how the chapter 13 would work.

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

Answered by attorney Christopher Emmanuel Benjamin (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at The Barrister Firm, P.A.
Your question focuses on the wrong issue; too many times the tenant is worrying about whether a landlord is fulfilling his obligations to his creditor but this is of no concern to the tenant. The landlord's ownership of the property is sufficient for him to partake in the benefit of renting it for profit. The creditor has it remedies under the law to pursue the landlord for delinquent obligations. Your only concern as a tenant is that your lease is not breached; which will only happen if you are required to relinquish possession (to no fault or breach of your own) prior to the prescribed term of the lease. When you rent property, you are entitled to possession of the property for the prescribed period of the lease and quiet and peaceful enjoyment (which includes limited maintenance) of the property for that time. You are paying for a place to live and as long as that is not interfered with than you need not worry about whether the landlord is fulfilling his obligations to his creditors and his failure to do so (without affecting your tenancy) is not a cause or defense for not paying rent.

Do liens qualify under chapter 7?

Answered by attorney Gary C. Harris (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Gary C. Harris, P.A.
I do not know what fee arrangements you made with your attorney, but unless his fee violates the Bar rules, you will have to pay it and he has lien rights against your insurance claim. Attorneys have no control over the limits of the defendant's liability policy. There are thousands of people driving in Georgia with no insurance and most people only carry the minimum amount. This is not your attorney's fault. If you feel that you are being charged too much attorney's fees, you can contact the State Bar of Georgia office closest to you and they will provide you with a simple form you will need to complete and file. You do not need an attorney and they will treat you fairly. The form is probably available on the Bar's website.
