How does Bankruptcy affect Section 8 & HUD renting?

Katie1, please read this link. This case is about a person that also had Sec 8 housing and the court found that the rental could not be terminated just because the debtor filed BK. However, in this specific instance the debtor had also failed to disclose income as she was required to disclose so the housing authority terminated her benefits. The key here is the simple filing of a BK does not trigger the default, and in fact it is specifically prohibited to terminate benefits based on a BK. But other violations do not prevent the termination. (That's what I understand from the link anyway). Here is the link for your review:
Filed CH 7 9/30/2008
