    Question What to Do After Your Landlord Files for Bankruptcy

    My question involves bankruptcy in the state of: Florida

    I received a notice that my landlord filed for bankruptcy. My lease expired April 22, 2011. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge in this department. A few questions I have are:

    1. Do I need to continue to pay rent?(Or keep it in an account?)
    2. Will I need to find a new place to live?
    3. Where do I find if I am considered a creditor?

    Please ask me questions about this notice and I can answer them, for I am in unknown territory! I will give you more info as long as I have the questions asked!! Thank you so much ahead of time

    1. Do I need to continue to pay rent?(Or keep it in an account?)
    you need to continue to pay rent until directed otherwise.

    2. Will I need to find a new place to live?
    hard to say. Until such time the BK is finalized, there is no way to know what is actually going to happen

    3. Where do I find if I am considered a creditor?
    if you paid your LL a deposit, you are a creditor. If he owes you money for anything else, you are a creditor.

    Did you get a notice of how to file a creditor's claim? If so, it was likely the result of the LL listing you as a creditor in his filing.
