Re: Bankruptcy and eviction
Filing bankruptcy will temporarily stay an eviction, but will not result in your being able to stay. Under certain circumstances, it may allow you the opportunity to cure the default by paying any back rent that is due if the lease has not been terminated due to the default. See an experienced bankruptcy lawyer immediately.
