Your last question makes no sense and cannot be answered without more facts. As to being sued from a landlord during a chapter 7 bankruptcy, the landlord would have to move to lift the automatic stay and get the bankruptcy court to grant the motion. You know that you have to pay rent in order to stay in the apartment. Seek the advice of the attorney you used to file the bankruptcy. If you filed bankruptcy without an attorney, set up a consultation with one to learn more about your options.

It would certainly help to know why the bankruptcy case was dismissed. In some instances, a dismissal simply means you need to start over again, while in other cases, you would be prevented from filing another bankruptcy for quite some time.

If you are behind on the mortgage payments, you have no defense and the court will grant the motion for relief from stay. However, it probably won't affect you if you still plan to move out of the house this month, in April. After the mortgage company obtains relief from stay they still have to schedule a foreclosure date, which takes time.
