Renters moved out, left stuff behind
August 9th, 2016
they left things like animals….. bunnies, birds, turtles too.
i watched an ep of judge judy the other day about this kind of think (lol but it still might help) she made the land lord pay the people for the crap she through out because she did not give them sufficant time to get ride of it.. ask them if they want it if they do give them time to get ride of it if they dont id say just throw it
if its in the contract that they move out by a that day. that stuff is now yours.
if its in the contract that they move out by a that day. that stuff is now yours.from what i understand, they told my mom a week ago they were moving out, (they got a apartment i heard), my mom did not evict them or anything, they did not give my mom a written note or anything, it was verbal and they have a month by month lease agreement i think.
I think the most resonable thing to do is to contact em
and ask , If they’ll refuse to take their stuff back then you can do whatever with em
if its in the contract that they move out by a that day. that stuff is now yours.hes right but make sure that that is on the contract
Yeah mate. Contact them. But a few pointers from a practical side. If they pay rent month by month, and they say they are moving out mid month, they still have a few weeks left on their rent. So you wont be able to move their stuff out until they have used what they pay for, but by the sound of it this has already happened.
So next step is to contact them and give them fair warning. Say three working days, in writing if you are worried about it. This way, they have left stuff on your property, you have given them a written notice of what you are going to do and if they choose to ignore it, on their head be it. Move their stuff out and done. Not sure what country you are in mate, but you should have community lawers about. In NZ we have a tenancy tribunal, or tribunal of common sense, they sort this ~love~ out bloody quick as long as you have acted with good intentions and fairly.
In summary, as long as they have not paid to stay in the house for any longer, give them written warning, then move their stuff out.
just get in touch with them to sort out what is going on.
You cant just throw stuff out when animals/pets are concerned.
Where do you live . Laws differ a lot from state to state so one answer dosn’t fit in all cases
Here’s New Jersey law

Why are you bothering..since he’s still your bhers friend just ask him to call him & see if they want their stuff. & If he does, ask him to tell him to pick them up soon because your mom is tossing them out. no legal issues in between.
