Tenant filed for Bamkruotcy

Cierra Butler
Posted

I am a property owner in central Texas of a multi-family home. I have a tenant in one of my units who has filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy. This tenant currently lives in my property with a roommate and they are both equally responsible for the rent. The roommate has not filed for bankruptcy. 

This tenant has always paid rent so there is no rent I am looking to collect at this time. What are my next steps I should take as the property owner prior to court proceedings?
