Monthly living expenses can be high, especially rent. If you cannot keep up with rent payments, eventually your landlord could begin a formal process of removing you from your house or apartment; this is known as an eviction. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be helpful in stopping the eviction process. Under section 362(b)(22), a landlord may continue an eviction proceeding against a debtor to obtain possession of residential property, but only if a judgment was obtained against the debtor before the filing date.
