In 2005, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act changed the prior law. The landlord can now evict a tenant, regardless of an automatic stay, if the landlord had a court-ordered judgment for possession prior to the tenant filing for bankruptcy. The landlord, therefore, can ignore the automatic stay.
