For debtors, one of the most useful aspects of filing a bankruptcy petition is the creation of an automatic stay<\/a> on debt collection efforts. Once the bankruptcy petition is filed, all collection activity must stop. This includes past-due rent and eviction proceedings. The automatic stay is designed to protect debtors, and presents landlords with a significant problem<\/strong> when they are trying to collect rent or evict someone.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The only way around the automatic stay is by going to court and filing a motion for relief from stay. An experienced bankruptcy attorney may be able to help you gain relief from the automatic stay.
