Answer by bull_rooster_aardvark
No, but you stop paying the lease and what is the leasing company going to do (assuming you already have more debts than assets or you would not be declaring bankruptcy). They can take you to court but any judgement they get will go into the bankruptcy filing with all other debtors.
You might want to call the lessor and tell them you can’t pay and will not be paying anymore. Then tell them that if they will let you terminate the lease with no fees you will agree to this and leave. If they do not let you terminate the lease with no fees they will have to evict you – they may happily agree to this is you are not going to be able to pay the lease and this means they get the property back immediately to get someone else in there.
