It probably will, but also probably not for long...so you'd likely want to have other good reasons for filing the bankruptcy. Discuss it with an attorney (not a paralegal service) to see if it's a good option for you.

It may stop it only temporarily, depending on how far along the eviction process is at the time you file.

I say probably because bankruptcy judges take the position that the filing of a bankruptcy does not stop a residential eviction. Therefore, almost all bankruptcy judges have short notice proceedings to grant landlords rapid relief from the bankruptcy stay.
