I received an involuntary lien for a credit card debt, I am a renter, will they notify the owner/landlord of this lien?

If they do contact the landlord who is the real property owner can it be cause for eviction?

A lien against you personally should not affect the property where you rent. It is generally not something they could evict you for. You should, however, consult with a bankruptcy attorney right away. It sounds like you have debts that have gone to judgment and now creditors are just waiting for you to have some assets to levy. That means your bank accounts and anything else you own is fair game. Bankruptcy generally solves these problems and gives you a fresh start without creditors chasing you. Good luck.

Please see my answer to your other question. You shouldn't necessarily file for bankruptcy protect just over this one lien, but if there are other debts, then seeing a BK lawyer, at least for an initial consultation, sounds like a very good idea.
