Oh boy, What do we do now

[Chris Sukala]

Well we went to the duplex we won at auction. Being first time we didn’t no what to aspect. We met the upper unit tenant which has been there for 20 plus years. Of course she paid the owner for June’s rent. Lower unit is where the owner lives or lived. She had a court order to evict in 30 days. Today is that 30th day. Lock smith entered common area. We saw through window that everything of hers is still in there. The upper tenant took us down to basement and was able to see in a sunroom area and nothing has moved. Furniture, computer clothes. Everything you can image. Now I guess we should have brought sheriff with us. We assumed it was empty and no issues. We are now being told technically we need them to come and remove her. Even though she had her 30 eviction. So now Tuesday we will have to contact sheriff and see what will happen. Hopefully I do not have to go through another 30 days. Anyone’s thoughts on whether we can access and change locks or not.

An eviction Always requires the sheriff to remove the tenants....do Not change the locks on your own.
