Tenant Filed Bankruptcy
Hello BP family,
We filed for eviction court (tenants past due in rent) and the hearing was supposed to be today. However, I received mail two hours before court regarding a notice to reset/possible dismissal with a new court date in May, 2020 due to the tenants filing a chapter 7 Bankruptcy.
The attorneys we are consulting with want to charge 3k plus (at a minimum). This is our first and only rental property and these are our first tenants.
Has anybody ever went through this or can advise any next steps? We went to the courthouse downtown and were told we can file a Motion For Relief of Stay for $181.00, is this the best and only option? Cash for keys? Anything?
Thanks so much,
Craishia
