Does the attorney need to notify my landlord if I'm current on rent for Chapter 7?

Unless you're planning to reject your lease, there is no need to notify your landlord.

Actually it's not the attorney but the Clerk of Court who sends out notices. Your landlord is entitled to notice if you have a written lease, or an agreement to lease that is other than month-to-month. One of the required schedules in the bankruptcy papers is a list of all your unexpired leases and other 'executory contracts.' Your lawyer should have answered your question. I assume he or she is taking your money, so why can't he or she do their job?

If you have an existing lease with time remaining on the term, it may be necessary to notify your landlord. Your attorney knows your case and I do not. I would rely on this advice.
