Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

If the bankruptcy is successful, back rents will be wiped out from prior to the BK. But if the tenant failed to pay rent after the BK was filed, you may seek leave from the BK court to proceed with an eviction in state court. As it is a somewhat complicated area of law, you might want to consult with a landlord's attorney on your area. The cost probably would be worth it so that you can put a paying tenant in place.
