LL/T lawyers ... I am getting a bunch of questions about giving notice for rent increases and want to be sure I've got this correct.

Rent can be increased AFTER July 31 but no rent increase can take effect without 60 days notice.

<p>Having been one of the bankruptcy attorneys that left the field, I don't think that description of what happened is quite accurate.</p>
<p>For me it was primarily two concerns. First, that automobile loans would have to be reaffirmed or the car returned, with reaffirmation requiring the attorney to attest that reaffirmation was not an undue hardship. Having only reaffirmed one auto loan in my entire career where the vehicle was modified for handicap use, I did not want that repeated ethical dilemma. That was particularly true given the fact that many auto loans are negotiated at auto dealers and hardly on the best terms. Congress completely sold out on that one. Unfortunately our state legislature had sold out several years earlier and did away with statutory provisions preventing collection of a deficiency on such loans. Banks are apparently very good at dishing out money to politicians. </p>
<p>Second was provisions allowing creditors to come after debtors' attorneys personally, akin to CR 11, but on much looser standards. Fortunately the courts pretty much shut that one down, but I did not know that in advance.</p>
<p>As to others leaving, that was likely also due to a severe drop off in case filings due to the press completely misrepresenting the effect of the changes. Everyone and their brothers who even thought the word bankruptcy filed before the new Act went into effect, whether they needed to or not. There was a long dry spell in filings.</p>
