If you are behind on your rental payment and the landlord has received a judgment against you, can your landlord put you out during the bankruptcy perceedings or can they put you out before? Feel free to email.

State Laws may differ. This is a question for your attorney. Bankrupting on your landlord is certainly not going to help you find another place to live when you are finally evicted. Pay for your roof first or you will be homeless.

if you have filed for bankruptcy then the bankruptcy judge takes precedent over all other civil legal proceedings, in federal court until the end of bankruptcy is completed the state court landlord/tenant court is barred from hearing the case until finalized in federal court
The landlord can get a lawyer and go in front of the federal judge to ask for relief

I think he can since you are behind in your rent and your financial status is not looking too good. The one no- fail reason for terminating tenancy is non- payment of rent and if he already has a judgment, then he will most likely do it because he knows you can't pay and he's in business to make money.

Banrkuptcy can't help you if you haven't paid your rent and your leasehold has already been terminated. But if you are behind and get your payments current, you can assume the lease.
