I was ill advised to file a chapter 7 to prolong tenancy in an unlawful detainer and wish to dismiss the bankruptcy. The trustee saw I have and asset

If you don't have any creditors then the Trustee would have no interest in doing anything with your assets. You say you weren't in arrears on your rent payments.  If so, why is the landlord seeking to evict you?  You can try to file a motion to dismiss your case, but a precondition of doing so will likely be that you intend to pay your creditors (i.e. your landlord) outside of your bankruptcy case.  Assuming the landlord doesn't oppose it, you should be able to dismiss your case.  It depends on the Judge in your case. Make sure you hire an experienced bankruptcy attorney to review your case and handle the Motion to Dismiss so you don't make things worse.
