If you have unsecured debt of under $10,000 and live in the Province of Ontario filing bankruptcy may not be the best option for you. We suggest you contact the Office of the Super Intendent of Bankruptcy at 416-973-6441 to discuss your options, or you can visit their website here.

Can you discharge old rent payments?

Recenltly I have been served with a Garnishment Hearing for Rent Arrears. Am I able to file Bankruptcy and include the Arrears as it technically is debt. Thanks.

Unless there is something unusual about this rental arrears, it would simply be considered an unsecured debt and would be cleared through the bankruptcy process. So before the Garnishment Hearing I would recommend you contact a local trustee so that you don’t have to worry about a portion of your wages being seized.
