If a Corp. has signed a lease/purchase agreement and after one year files bankruptcy, can the court take my property (tables, chairs, bar stools, sound equip.,etc.)that I left in the building that they agreed to lease or make an offer to buy. Also, if they paid a down payment, non-refundable, toward the purchase of the property, but defaulted and filed bankruptcy, can the court ask for the down payment that was made in good faith?

Hi keng and welcome to the forum

Are you talking about a tenant who has been made bankrupt using your items? And a down payment towards the purchase of those items? If I understand you correctly, you would need to establish that you had retained ownership of the items. In the event of a bankrutpcy, the non-refundable deposit would likely be yours to keep, but you might want to check this out with a lawyer if your concern is genuine.
