Renewing lease after filing

[bubbles]

Please help me. We just submitted our package to the lawyer and were told the filing date would be in May. We have been leasing an apartment and are current and have always paid on time; the lawyer says by law the apartment complex has to be notified but they will be told that we are not breaking our obligations. I have no clue what that means, question is will they renew our lease when it expires? as we have no intention to leave considering if we file it may be difficult to get another place. PLEASE HELP, tell me what exactly all this means.THANKS!!

If you didn't include anything owed to your landlord in your filing (and from your comments I assume you didn't), then as long as you continue to make your rent payments on time, you should be fine getting a lease renewal.

Do keep in mind that depending on the lease you signed, your landlord may be able to ask you to leave at the end of the lease for any reason they want. Have you checked the terms of your lease to see if anything is mentioned in it about filing bk? (Probably not, but it never hurts to check.)

You are right we did not include anything owed as we don't owe anything. Thanks for your response; it's reassuring. Will definitely check the terms of the lease and see.
