More details to this question:
I filed a chapter 13 which was confirmed in April 2012. I am currently looking to rent an apartment and the landlord stated that they will need a letter from my attorney stating that I can not add the new debt to my bankruptcy. My attorney will not answer my calls nor my emails.

Get another attorney, who is knowledgeable about bankruptcy law, to write the letter. You may be able to get a recommendation from your Chapter 13 Trustee.

You should start out by leaving a voice mail to your attorney that you will be reporting them to the ethics bar. Then report them to the ethics bar. If this lawyer wants to keep his license, one of his first steps will be to fix this issue.

What you are requesting isn't possible because it would involve the attorney telling a lie. Your attorney can lose his/her license by doing this and if you can't take "no" for an answer, I can't blame your attorney for ignoring you. You are asking your attorney to commit a crime. Knock it off and find another way to solve your rental issue.

Look at your Chapter 13 Plan. It should have the box checked that the Trustee is not permitted to pay post petition claim, which should satisfy the Landlord.

Send him a regular U.S. Mail letter telling him what you want and give him a two week deadline. Tell him that if he does not respond you are going to file a bar complaint.
