Moving Out

[Precious Thompson]

If a tenant doesn't leave on there move out date, can a landlord legally put there remaining things out?

[Michael Hayworth]

When you say "Remaining" things, it sounds like they're in the process of moving out - is that correct?

Check laws in your locality, but most localities differentiate between whether the tenant is still living there, which in most areas requires an eviction, and whether the tenant has moved out, but left stuff. In my area, that's considered abandoned property and there's yet another long, complicated list of what we're allowed to do or not do with it, but it's  less onerous than evicting someone who's still living in the house.
