Willy Walton, a tenant at the Silver Dollar Apartments, fell two months behind in his rent. The landlord procured a judgment in small claims court and told Willy, "I don't care whether you file bankruptcy or not, I have a judgment and I'm going to collect it." Upon hearing this, Willy filed a petition in bankruptcy under Chapter 7. Before receiving notice of Willy's petition in bankruptcy, but after the bankruptcy petition was filed, the landlord filed a forcible entry and detainer and had a summons served on Willy to evict him. The landlord has violated the automatic stay and is subject to contempt proceedings in the bankruptcy court.
