Eviction- Order for Possession Posted - drama

[Anne Jenkins]

Constable posted today for Possession.   Tenant of course is reading me her rights.   I am just looking for clarification as the Constable  "can"t give me legal advice" and I am hoping like everyone to

cut my losses some.   She has 10 days to come get her STUFF! In addition to all the other notices prior to the Possession order!    She is demanding she be able to come and go as she wants and I am telling her she has to schedule a time with me to enter and remove her belongings.     Looking for Guide lines to follow.   So far I am 1.5 months lost rents and $300 in court costs.  Sigh and she WILL take all 10 days to do this.    Can anyone tell me if I can remove the stuff from the unit and put it in storage.   We are talking Wilkes Barre PA.    I really would of course like to start the cleaning up process but how to do that if she and her brood are in and out?

Thanks for any insight.

I would only allow access when I am present and it would be during reasonable hours and for a limited time. The last time I did this, the Tenant coordinated a six-hour period, I unlocked the doors, I read a book while they moved, and I locked the doors when they were done.

If the law allows, you can move it to storage which gives you control of her belongings and control of the property. If she wants her stuff back, she has to pay you the moving and storage fees, then you give her control of the storage facility for the # of days it's been rented so she can move at her convenience. At the same time, you have control of your rental back and can move forward with it.
