Question on stuff left behind

Jay P.

Hi All,

State: IL

County: Dupage

After several month my tenant has SLOWLY moved out at his convenience! 

He has been moving out slowly since the end of June (he was supposed to have been out by June 30th) 

Anyways, he handed over the keys and possession On July 7th and disconnected utilities etc that same day. 

Turns out he left a TON of stuff behind since he could not afford to move it, 

He finished moving all that stuff yesterday (July 18) but still left behind a car lift in the garage and a fridge (not sure why he needed either) 

My attorney went to court this morning and the judge signed a "closing writ of restitution" considering he had no date as to when he would move those 2 items. I asked him when they would be gone and I was given plenty of racial slurs and verbal abuse. 

1. My question is do I need to wait for the sheriff to tell me to junk his car lift and fridge? Or do I have to wait for a sheriff to instruct me to get rid of the stuff?

2. Also is this "closing writ of restitution" mean that he has an eviction on his record? I hope so since I wouldn't ever want ANYONE else to get stuck with this idiot. 

3. he damaged up the property quite a lot too and he insists I cannot use his deposit for repairs (I will be though) how soon do I have to send him an itemized deductions from his deposit? I live out of state of where the property is so it might take a bit of extra time. 

Thanks all I finally have my property back - too late to sell probably but if I need to lease again I will be making the new tenant jump through a LOT of hoops! A big lesson learned 

Thanks to everyone who helped over these last few months!
