Can a tenant sue a landlord who is in bankruptcy?
Normally the bankruptcy filing has nothing to do with whether or not the tenant has paid his rent. A landlord does not have the right to evict a tenant simply because the tenant filed chapter 7 unless that is part of the lease. The terms of the lease determine if the tenant will be evicted. If the tenant pays the rent, he should not be evicted.

Does a cosigner have to pay the rent when tenant dies suddendly?
