We have a second house and we have been leasing it. If I file ch. 7 and let the house go can the renter sue?

Question

We had a contract with leasor and everytime the Mortgage would go up on the house the leasor would not pay the difference. We ended up having to file chapter 13 and we still can not make ends meet. Now she is not making a payment at all. We are going to have to file chapter 7 and let the house go. Will the leasor be able to sue us or do anything to us?

Answer 1

Your lease promises tenancy at a particular address, so if it is lost in bankruptcy the lease is void. But do them the courtesy of advance notice so they can have time to make arrangements.

Answer 2

nope

Answer 3

Even though you are going into bankruptcy, she still owes the rent.  You can sue her, she has no recourse to sue you.
