In all 50 states, you cannot keep any property or interest in property (possession via lease) if you don't pay (assuming you are not the legal owner). You always have to pay to play. If you stop paying rent, the landlord will ask the court for permission to evict you (lift the automatic
stay).

Bankruptcy will not prevent eviction but may slightly delay the process.

No, you can be evicted if you don't pay your rent.
