Tenant left with my washer ,dryer and stove...

Hello BP Community,

I just had one of my tenants move out of one of my properties and he left with the washer , the dryer and the stove, that did not belong to him.

This was a tenant I had acquired with the property and his lease clearly indicated that these appliances were included with his lease (and the pictures from the purchase also show the appliances existing in the unit)

The security deposit barely covers all the other damages that the tenant left behind ,no chance to pay for major appliances.

Did anyone have such a case before ? What recourse do you think I can have against this tenant ? 

Thanks

The tenant didn't leave with your washer, dryer and stove--he STOLE your washer, dryer and stove.

Have you called the Police and report it, then maybe he can go sit in Jail with the rest of the thieves.

He will update his Drivers License, or be pulled over for a traffic stop at some point--and bingo (open warrant).
