I tried to contact them to find out their intentions. They stated they were moving out and had no intentions of paying current or future rent. Two weeks later, they filed chapter 13 bankruptcy. My question is do I have a priority claim for the balance of the lease payments (stated in the lease in the event of breach) or just a standard proof of claim? Tenants attorney asked me to re-submit my claim as non-priority or they will have to file an objection. What should I do here? I have the priority claim filed referencing section 11 USC 502 (b)(6)(B) of the bankruptcy code. Am I interpreting this wrong? -
