Having a tenant in bankruptcy can be one of the most frustrating ' and costly ' experiences that a commercial landlord endures. Although the Bankruptcy Code requires tenants to remain current in payment of their post-petition rent, landlords are often held hostage to the process, stuck with a non-paying tenant in default and a bankruptcy court unwilling to turnover possession of the property. So, what is a landlord to do and how can a landlord maximize its recovery of pre- and post-petition rent in bankruptcy? This article presents the landlord's various options, explore its options and provide guidance on protections and rights that landlords possess.

An important step in this process is to terminate a lease in accordance with its terms concurrent with the filing of any state eviction proceedings.
