Requirement
(a) Motion to Assume Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease in Chapter 7 Case. In a chapter 7 case, a trustee moving to assume an executory contract or unexpired lease of residential real property or personal property of the debtor shall seek to obtain a return date for the hearing on the motion that is within 60 days after the order for relief or, if the time to assume has been extended, before the expiration of such extended period. If the trustee files a motion to assume or to extend the time to assume or reject an executory contract or unexpired lease of residential real property or personal property, and the motion is filed prior to the expiration of the time to assume or reject such executory contract or unexpired lease with a return date no later than 14 days from the date of the expiration of the time to assume or reject such executory contract or unexpired lease, the trustee shall file with its motion a proposed order seeking an extension for cause under § 365(d)(1) of the time to assume or reject the executory contract or unexpired lease to the date of the hearing on the motion, which order may be entered without further notice or a hearing. (b) Motion to Assume Unexpired Lease of Nonresidential Real Property. In a case under any chapter, a debtor, debtor in possession, or trustee moving to assume an unexpired lease of nonresidential real property under which the debtor is the lessee shall seek to obtain a return date for the hearing on the motion that is within 120 days after the order for relief or, if the time to assume has been extended, before the expiration of such extended period. If the debtor, debtor in possession, or trustee files a motion to assume or to extend the time to assume or reject an unexpired lease of nonresidential real property, and the motion is filed prior to the expiration of the time to assume or reject the unexpired lease with a return date no later than 14 days from the date of the expiration of the time to assume or reject such lease, the debtor, debtor in possession, or trustee shall file with its motion a proposed order seeking an extension for cause under § 365(d)(4)(B)(i) of the time to assume or reject the unexpired lease to the date of the hearing on the motion, which order may be entered without further notice or a hearing, except that the time for the debtor, debtor in possession, or trustee to assume or reject such unexpired lease shall not be extended beyond the date that is 210 days after the entry of the order for relief without the prior written consent of the landlord. REFERENCES: Bankruptcy Code §§ 365(d)(1), 365(d)(4)(B)(i) Comment: Bankruptcy Code § 365(d)(1) contemplates that a hearing on a motion by a chapter 7 trustee to assume an executory contract or unexpired lease of residential real property or personal property of the debtor ordinarily will take place within 60 days from the date of the order for relief. Likewise, Bankruptcy Code § 365(d)(4) contemplates that a final hearing on a motion by a debtor, debtor in possession, or trustee to assume an unexpired lease of nonresidential real property of the debtor ordinarily will take place within 60 days from the date of the order for relief. Under Bankruptcy Code § 365(d)(1), in a chapter 7 case, the Court may, for cause, extend the 60-day time period for assuming or rejecting an executory contract or unexpired lease of residential real property or personal property. Similarly, under § 365(d)(4), the Court may, for cause, extend the 120-day time period for assuming or rejecting an unexpired lease of nonresidential real property. Adequate cause for an extension of time to assume or reject the executory contract or unexpired lease until the Court rules on the motion exists by virtue of the fact that a motion to assume or to extend the time was filed in a timely manner. Any party in interest objecting to the extension of time may request a hearing on an expedited basis. To prevent abuse of the automatic extension, the return date of the motion must be no later than 14 days after the expiration of the period.
