My Landlord Named Me Like A Lender In His Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

does this imply he no further has my safety deposit and is attempting to acquire it released in the bankruptcy judge? I can not get any responses from his lawyer or the trustee why I'm named a creditor.

I believe, by law, the safety deposit must be ketp in escrow. That implies in an interest bearing account and you must get your security deposit back with interest. The interest part rarely takes place.... in reality many landlords are so unsophisicated and oversight so low that they just use the money as their personal. I would say you are possibly appropriate... he utilized your safety deposit as if it was his own funds. He need to not be able to use Bankruptcy to get out of paying you. I think you could bring charges against him for defrauding you of the funds in fact. That bit of info may possibly cause him to uncover a way to pay you your cash. Bear in mind... a security depoist is just escrowed income... it is not a loan and it is not meant for him to use. It is your cash. If it is gone then what he did is tandamount to theft. To file charges you just go to your regional magistrate... an arrest could be produced on that. Another way would be to sue him in tiny claims court(magistrate can help you). For less than $5000. You may possibly be capable to place a lien on his properties with that judgement... you could anyway.

I'm not an attorney but if I were to venture a guess - I'd say you've got this spot on.

Tell his attorney that you will file charges for defrauding you of your escrow if they don't pay you(criminal charge) I believe, by law, the security deposit must be ketp in escrow. That means in an interest bearing account and you should get your security deposit back with interest. The interest part rarely happens.... in fact many landlords are so unsophisicated and oversight so low that they just use the money as their own. I would say you are probably right... he used your security deposit as if it was his own money. He should not be able to use Bankruptcy to get out of paying you. I believe you could bring charges against him for defrauding you of the money in fact. That bit of information may cause him to find a way to pay you your money. Remember... a security depoist is just escrowed money... it isn't a loan and it is not meant for him to use. It is your money. If it is gone then what he did is tandamount to theft. To file charges you just go to your local magistrate... an arrest may be made on that. Another way would be to sue him in small claims court(magistrate can help you). For less than $5000.

I've been looking but since I'm not really sure what is going on with my security deposit, I can't give a new landlord a firm date. This is all just so confusing and upsetting.

well, I don't know if I should pay April's rent then. The meeting of the creditors is not until April 8th and my rent is due on the 1st.

If you decide not to pay your rent, do you have somewhere else to live?
