Bankruptcy can slow down the eviction process, but it cannot stop it.  If a landlord sued their tenant for eviction and won a judgment for possession before the tenant filed for bankruptcy, then they can proceed to evict the tenant, even if the tenant then files for bankruptcy in an attempt to stop the eviction.  If a landlord has not won a judgment for eviction before their tenant files for bankruptcy, the landlord cannot deliver a termination notice.  As you are aware, this prohibition is known as the "automatic stay."  However, the landlord can go to the bankruptcy court and ask the judge to "lift" (i.e. remove) the automatic stay so that they can proceed with the eviction (in most cases the stay is lifted within a matter of days).Note:  There is, however, an exception to the "automatic stay" if illegal drugs are being used on the premises but you did not indicate tist to be the case.
