It really depends on what other evidence, if any, he has and whether you were constructively evicted from your rental. You will probably at least be given a hearing.

A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Some of your options include searching on your own online, using the Find a Lawyer tab above, and looking into referral sections of bar associations. Good luck

I was a housekeeper but I was being sexually harassed by someone and when brought to the owners attention I was wrongfully fired and now I'm being kicked out can they just do that
answered on Oct 23, 2021

No the automatic stay does not protect you automatically from a lanlord eviction. However there is a section of the bankruptcy code that allows you to pay the rent you are behind on into the court and force the landlord to accept it. Then you can finish the remaining months of your lease. This... View More
