Tenant filed for bankruptcy and Eviction halted

Hello BP,

Our tenant is not paying rent (2+ months) and we were going through the eviction process. He filed for bankruptcy right before appearing in the eviction court and the eviction case is on an automatic stay.

The tenant is still living in the apartment and not picking our calls as we tried to work out.

Next Bankruptcy court date is on June 20 and would like to know our options.

The good news is GA is a top-10 landlord-friendly state. Here's a good source that could prove useful for you:

In this case, I would recommend hiring an attorney. This could be expensive either way.

Hello Moncy,
It would be best to get an attorney to help ensure the judgement goes in your favor at the next eviction hearing.
