    Eviction - Can I sell her furniture?
    I finally evicted an awful tenant, changed the locks with the deputy, gave her 24 more hours to get her stuff out (which she didn't), then moved her furniture out myself to my garage at my residence. It has been 3 weeks, and haven't heard from her. I think she will eventually want to buy it back, but I want to sell it (some of it is pretty nice) to pay for the $2,000 she owes me. Can I do this? The Deputy said after 24 hours it's considered abandoned property, and I could do what I wish after that. Can I?

    Debt
    Hi,
    If the deputy told you yes, then sell it. It's probably the only way you can collect toward the bad debt of $2,000. Plus, you should be collecting money for having to move the furniture yourself... if you can collect any from her.

    Just not sure if the Deputy is 100% correct. I don't want to get into trouble.
    I guess I need to ask a Lawyer.

    You definitely need to speak to an attorney in your area. Some states permit it but others don't. I'm not sure about the law in Virginia and I'm not in a position to research it at the moment. You should be able to get a free consultation with an attorney in your area who can answer your questions.

    Eviction
    A good start would be the court clerk where you got the eviction notice from.

    In many states, the sheriffs office actually sits the properly to the curb.
    After the people from the sheriff office leaves, then the properly can be taken by anyone free.

    But if the property is movedIin some states) to storage, then it now falls under stored property as if it was in a "u-rent" storage building so another set of rules apply.

    I could tell you what we do in GA, and what I have seen done in TN

    Best bet, check with the court or a local attorney

    Linda, you can do what you wish with that stuff. That's my line of work and I see it on a monthly basis.

    I have apartments left with personal property more than most people can imagine. I've been in this business for a dozen years and will probably never comprehend how/why people would leave such stuff.

    I think she thought I wouldn't really do it. She left some nice stuff!
    Amazingly, it's now been a month, and haven't heard from her!
    I'm having an Estate Sale this weekend!
    Thanks!
