The difference between rental income and earned income is that one derives
from property of the estate, i.e. the estate owns the property. The other
derives from personal services and is not property of the estate IN A
CHAPTER 7 CASE. See 541(a)(6).

He does this often, he is the only one I have seen do it, and I have often
wondered the same thing. Even if you take the position that this income is
an asset, how would it not be an asset acquired POST-petition? And if this
income is reachable, exactly what income isn't reachable? The debtor has an
expectation of receiving his paycheck too, how is that different? He hasn't
earned it yet? Neither has he "earned" the future rental income yet.... What
are we missing? Thank you David for bringing this up.

The postpetition income exclusion of 541(a)(6) applies to personal services income in a chapter 7. Rent, issues and profits from property of the estate belong to the estate if earned prepetition or postpetition.

Notify each bank giving them the name of the case, the trustee, address, copies of the checks sent and the bank can go in and make a motion.

We typically inform our clients that this is a possibility. However, to date, I have not come accross one trustee that has been interested. Even when we've had cases where clients were surrendering many rental properties from which rents were being collected, the trustees have not wanted the post-petition rent b/c of the possible tax ramifications to the estate.

Not sure, but this may expose the estate to a claim for rent skimming.
Someone may want to investigate this legal issue and then report back to the
USTee or file something with the Court if I am correct.

I understand that the post-petition rents are the property of the estate.
Does this mean that people with rental properties are not allowed to use
said rents to pay the post-petition mortgages in a Chapter 7? This would
result in most people losing rental properties in a seven, even if they
could stay current with the rents.

Income from estate property belongs to the trustee. The trustee can take it. I was hired as an expert to testify in a federal prosecution of some forclosure consultants. They got off of the charges relating to bankruptcy crimes, but got 5 years each for collecting rentswhich belonged to a federally insured institution under an assignments of rents clause, and pocketing them.
