Legal Question in Bankruptcy in New York

Our tenant has recently filed Chapter 7. The lease has expired, and we are going month to month. Do we need to do anything? Do they need to continue to pay their rent? We don't want to evict them, as they are up-to-date with their rent, but we can't have tenants who do not have to pay rent.
