Eviction and BK question

Quick question. I filed BK in September, and was a little bit behind on my rent payments- but didn't include them b/c I didn't want them to think I was trying to get it wiped out and evict me. I had my creditors meeting in October, and the case gets dismissed in December. I had written them a check for October's rent, but some drafts came out and the check bounced. So I am now way behind with them. I have decided to go ahead and move, since I will most definitely be evicted anyways- my question is can I amend my schedule before the case gets dismissed and add them? They called today and said something about going to the magistrate and possibly having me arrested for writing the bad check (which was not purposefully). I don't know if they're just trying to use a scare tactic b/c I was a perfect tenant, for over a year, until around the summer when I couldn't kep up anymore.
Any advice? Can I add them?

The Oct payment may be considered post petition debt. This is where you really need a lawyer.
 
I can't afford a lawyer. I filed pro se.
I definitely do not want to have a warrant issued for me for a payment I didn't mean to bounce in the first place. I am a scared as heck.
