Do you pay rent under chapter 7 |
Answer:
Answer
Yes. In addition to your normal expenses, such as rent, food, insurance and utilities, in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you must continue paying all of your secured debts, which usually includes debts that are secured by a house, car or furniture. In other words, in order to keep your possessions, you must continue to pay for them. If you are surrendering the item that secures a particular debt to the trustee in order for he/she to sell the property & use the proceeds to pay creditors, then you do not need to continue to pay for that item. If you are unsure about which creditors you need to continue paying for, then please contact your attorney.
