🤔 How Rental Debts Become Overwhelming.

When you sign a lease — whether for an apartment, house, or business — you’re agreeing to pay rent for the entire term of that lease.

• 🏠 Residential leases are typically 6 to 12 months in duration.
• 🏢 Commercial leases may run 5 to 10 years (or longer).

If your circumstances change — job loss, illness, business closure — breaking a lease can leave you owing thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars.

⚠️ Common Landlord–Tenant Debt Problems,

• 💸 Breaking a lease early – leaving you on the hook for the remainder of the lease term.
• 🏚️ Damage claims – while some landlords make fair charges to make repairs, others exaggerate or claim damages that never existed.
• ⚖️ Lawsuits and judgments – landlords may sue for unpaid rent, damages, or both, which can lead to wage garnishment or liens.
• 🏢 Commercial lease defaults – businesses that close often leave behind enormous rental obligations that outlast the business itself.

Defending against a landlord’s lawsuit can be a time-consuming, expensive, and stressful process. But you don’t have to go through it alone.

🔑 How A Fresh Start Law Can Help.

At A Fresh Start Law, we help tenants and former tenants understand their rights and explore options for relief, including:

⚖️ Bankruptcy – Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 can wipe out unpaid rent, break lease obligations, and stop lawsuits in their tracks.

💬Debt settlement – In some cases, we can negotiate with landlords for a lump-sum settlement or reduced payments.

🛡️Defense strategies – If a landlord is exaggerating damages or pursuing unfair claims, we can guide you in defending yourself.

Every situation is different. Dorothy Bunce will review your case carefully and help you determine the best course of action.

🌟 Residential vs. Commercial Lease Debts

• 🏠 Residential tenants – Often face lawsuits for unpaid rent or alleged property damage. Bankruptcy can discharge these debts and protect you from further collection.
• 🏢 Commercial tenants – Business lease debts can be massive, stretching for years into the future. Bankruptcy may be the only realistic way to resolve these obligations while protecting your personal finances.

🤔 Landlord & Tenant Debt Problems – Frequently Asked Questions.

💳 Can bankruptcy erase the back rent I owe?

Yes. In most cases, unpaid rent is treated like any other unsecured debt and can be wiped out in Chapter 7 or restructured in Chapter 13. Bankruptcy can also stop a landlord from suing you or garnishing your wages.

⚖️ What if my landlord already sued me?

If your landlord has a judgment against you, bankruptcy can still help by eliminating the judgment debt and stopping collection actions, such as wage garnishment or liens. Even if a lawsuit is pending, bankruptcy immediately halts the case.

🚪 What happens if I walk away from my lease?

If you leave before your lease ends, your landlord can sue you for the remainder of the lease term, which may add up to thousands (or even tens of thousands). Bankruptcy can discharge that debt, giving you a clean break.

🏚️ What if my landlord claims I damaged the property?

Legitimate damages can become part of a landlord’s claim, but some landlords exaggerate or make false claims. We help clients review whether the charges are fair — and if the debt qualifies for discharge in bankruptcy.

🏢 What about business or commercial leases?

Commercial lease debts can be enormous because leases often run 5–10 years. If your business closes or you can’t keep up, bankruptcy may be the only realistic way to avoid being stuck with years of unpaid rent.

📉 Will landlord debt hurt my credit?

Yes, unpaid rent or judgments can appear on your credit report and hurt your credit score. But once the debt is resolved — through settlement or bankruptcy — you can begin rebuilding credit immediately.
