Rent and Damage to rental unit

Hi, I put a stop payment on my last month of rent and I plan to file for bankruptcy shortly. I have now moved out, and the landlord is going after me for unpaid rent and damages to the unit. She has my deposit, but wants more. Can the landlord still get a judgement against me and make me pay, or does it get dismissed during bankruptcy? Can you help me I am in Vancouver BC.
