Where do I report the security deposit for my apartment? Do I have to notify my landlord of the BK filing if I have a perfect record paying my rent?
I think the deposit should go on Schedule C as exempt [CA, filing using option 2]. The para legal working for my atty was going to file it on Schedule E and check "Deposits by Individuals". She said if we listed it the landlord would have to be notified of the BK. I'm not an expert, but this does not sound correct to me. Another BK atty previously told me the landlord does not have to know if my payment record is perfect with them.
My building was recently bought by aggressive new landlords who want to evict everyone in cheaper rent controlled units. I'd rather not give them more ammunition, like a BK filing if the law does not require that they be informed.
