Bankruptcy Dismissal
What can I do after a bankruptcy dismissal?
After a dismissal, your bankruptcy case will be closed. The bankruptcy will be over unless/until a motion is made and granted reopening the case. Depending on the reason your case was dismissed, you may/may not be able to file another bankruptcy case right away. If you are able to file again, the length of the Automatic Stay might be an issue for you. A motion may have to be made to extend the length of the stay (your bankruptcy attorney will advise you about this issue).

Bankruptcy Bias for Blacks
A recent NY Times article discusses a recent study of racial differences in bankruptcy filings that shows a bankruptcy bias for blacks:
The study of racial differences in bankruptcy filings was written by Robert M. Lawless, a bankruptcy expert and law professor, and Dov Cohen, a psychology professor, both with the University of Illinois; and Jean Braucher, a law professor at the University of Arizona.
A survey conducted as part of their research found that bankruptcy lawyers were much more likely to steer black debtors into a Chapter 13 than white filers even when they had identical financial situations. The lawyers, the survey found, were also more likely to view blacks as having “good values” when they expressed a preference for Chapter 13.
This is news to me! As a NY Bankruptcy Attorney this has not been my experience, but I did find the article interesting and look forward to reviewing the study. I can assure you that bankruptcy can be a very difficult area of law (even for attorneys). There are many factors that need to be considered when deciding which bankruptcy chapter is best for you. No one should be steered into any chapter of bankruptcy! Make sure your bankruptcy attorney is a member of NACBA (National Association of Consumer Bankruptcy Attorneys). Also consult with several attorneys if possible (most offer a free consultation). We have no problem providing a free consultation to answer your general questions. We also have answers to frequently asked bankruptcy questions right here on this site.

You, as the landlord, might have to pay to move and store your evicted tenant’s belongings. This can be extremely expensive (we are talking about thousands of dollars here).
The good news:
- Not all NY counties require the landlord to pay for the moving and storage of an evicted tenant’s belongings.
The bad news:
If your county requires the landlord to move and store an evicted tenant’s belongings:
- You will likely have to hire a licensed and insured moving company.
- You will likely have to pay for storage at a commercial facility.
