Can I give up rental property I own through bankruptcy?

Yes. If you are thinking about not keeping your rental property any more, you are by no means alone in that thought. There are over 11 million people who are upside down on the value of their property compared to amount owed – whether it is the home they live in or the house(s) they have as rental property, the affect is the same.
To make things worse, when you have tenants that cannot pay due to various economical challenges they are as well facing, you as the property owner must still find the resources to pay the monthly note. It is hard enough being a landlord and trying to eek out a living from your investment property during good economical times. So trying to do so under current economic conditions is unbearable for most. Empty rental property and/or tenants who are struggling to pay put in jeopardy your own financial security and possibly your own home. You are allowed to surrender the property back to your mortgage company through filing bankruptcy and will no longer have to pay for the property. If you own investment properties and issues stemming from this property is threatening to pull you under, you should consult with a bankruptcy attorney as quickly as possible to know and understand your options and lay out a strategy that will work for your specific situation. Don’t wait until bankruptcy is your only option and the situation is so bad that you are facing the loss of your own home.
