I am filing pro se. Do I also need to list her as a creditor if I have to list her on 106G? My monthly expenses include rent and utilities that I pay directly to her.

It's nearly always best to retain a lawyer for advice and representation. That said, unless your federal district has a local rule to the contrary, a month-to-month lease need not be listed as an executory contract.

You only list debt in a bankruptcy. Filing bankruptcy pro se is about much more than filling out forms and trying to figure out what answers are required. Without a strategy or an understanding of the rules of bankruptcy, which the forms do not contain, you may end up getting an expensive education about the legal system. Most people I see filing bankruptcy pro se did not need to file bankruptcy at all, but were persuaded that bankruptcy was a solution to all their problems. Not true.

You do not need to list if it is month to month and you plan on staying. If you were planning on moving out and not paying rent, then you must list her as a creditor.

You do not need to list a month-to-month lease on Schedule G because there is no future obligation. If you're current on the rent, you do not need to list her as a creditor because you don't owe her anything.
