Tenant Chapter 13 - COVID19
First time poster... long time lurker
I am from Indiana and have slowly started purchasing single family rentals over the past few years. Have had great luck finding very affordable properties and tenants so far.... Until now.....
I recently received a chapter 13 bankruptcy notice from a problem tenant. Tenant has slow paid and I have had to 10 day notice several times in the past couple months. Each time rent and late fees were brought current prior to end of notice period. At the time of bankruptcy notice (February) the tenant was current and had no outstanding rent. I have since heard nothing from the tenant regarding March rent and looking for advice on how to proceed. I have not attempted to contact tenant due to bankruptcy filing and unsure of next steps. I have attempted to contact tenants lawyer several times to find out their intentions but he does not seem to want to call me back. Add in the COVID19 complicating factor and I’m in a bit of a pickle :). I can confirm that the tenants employment has not been affected by mandatory closures. Help??? Advice???
