If I'm an ex-tenant pursuing security deposit from a chapter 13 landlord, one who doesn't list me as creditor, do I just do the lift of stay and then small claims? Or, since escrow isn't reported (presumed commingled/spent), can I do a combination filing of lift of stay AND adversary proceeding? Since this landlord is also a real estate agent, I'm thinking the mismanagement of escrow is important.
Answer
The best thing to do is hire an attorney to negotiate a resolution of the issue. I will not be putting a stamp of approval on you trying to help yourself by just doing a lift of stay and then small claims. It is a lot more complicated than that.
