More details to this question:
I need to file a Chapter 7 but I am afraid I will be evicted if I do. I pay my rent on time all the time. I am the model tenant and do not owe any back rent. Can they evict me for filing?

Generally not, all the landlord is entitled to is the rent on time.

So long as you pay your rent on time, you should not be evicted. Some leases contain provisions stating that a bankruptcy is a default, but they are not enforceable in court.
