Form B 101B: Statement About Payment of an Eviction Judgment Against You (individuals)
Form B 101B, printed as Official Form 101B, is the Statement About Payment of an Eviction Judgment Against You. It is an Official Bankruptcy Form from the U.S. Courts, listed under Individual Debtors, and the U.S. Courts page lists it as effective on December 1, 2015. The page also says Official Bankruptcy Forms are approved by the Judicial Conference and must be used under Bankruptcy Rule 9009.
The one-page form concerns a debtor who rents a residence and whose landlord has a judgment for possession (eviction judgment). The form says to fill it out only if you filed Initial Statement About an Eviction Judgment Against You (Official Form 101A), served a copy of Form 101A on your landlord, and want to stay in your rented residence for more than 30 days after you file your Voluntary Petition for Individuals Filing for Bankruptcy (Official Form 101). The 2015 Committee Note says Forms 101A and 101B replace the tenant certification section of the old Official Form 1 and apply only in cases of individual debtors.
This page explains the form in plain words and is not legal advice. You can fill it out free in your browser on this page and download the result without an account.
