My brother and sister-in-law were staying with my mother when she died. I inherited her house and want them out because I intend to rent it out. I first gave them 3 months (verbally); then a written 30-day notice to vacate; and now a final notice to vacate in 2 weeks. I'm tired of them dragging their feet. No doubt they will dash out of the house at the very last minute, leaving some of their stuff behind, which they will expect me to keep until they can retrieve it, at their convenience.
So what am I allowed to do with their possessions? Can I give them written notice now that stuff left behind will be considered "abandoned" so I can dispose of it as I see fit? Or do I have to keep their possessions for some specified time? How long? Can I move it out of my house and put it in storage and make them pay?
I'm in Maryland, if that makes a difference.
