    Default Are Fees for Breaking a Lease Dischargeable

    My question involves collection proceedings in the State of: Arizona. My situation is I have a new place to move into and my lease is up as of August 1st. My credit is destroyed beyond repair from a pending divorce. To clear that last part up, all debts were acquired prior to marriage so I will be filing for bankruptcy solely as spouse will have no part in my debts. Landlord will have someone lined up to immediately move in so I would not have to pay for any months left on my lease, but they will not waive the $1500 concession fee for breaking the lease. Basically, my question is at this point knowing my only course of action is to file bankruptcy (currently know at least one creditor is trying to "serve" me but cannot find me) am I better off just dropping keys off and saying good bye, and or allowing them to evict me even though I will have already abandoned anyways? In all honesty I am pretty solid for getting Chapter 7, but another judgement could really solidify that for me at this point and might actually help to "add" on a little fat to my case.
