bankruptcy eviction california
What if a tenant renting my house out files for bankruptcy down the road?
I’m taking a risk renting out my house to a young couple who I honestly feel are good people and will not do me wrong. With that being said, they are looking to rent because they are foreclosing on their house and have not paid for numerous credit cards because their tax attorney said they had to show hardship in order to do a short-sale on their house. They may or may not file for bankruptcy in 6 months or so depending on how things play out. When they file bankruptcy I hope they keep paying rent of course as they say, but if they do not, is the eviction process the same whether they have filed bankruptcy or not? I’m located in California.
Their bankrupsy will not include you, you are not a creditor. They pay rent in advance, not after the fact.
