Who puts out possesions during evictions

[Gamal R.]

So Monday morning the Sheriff is going to come back to the unit where they are serving the writ. If the tenant is still there who puts out the tenants belongings etc. How does that work?

Best to check with the local housing authority to see what the regulations are regarding set outs, as they can vary from state to state. In CA, you are responsible for storing a tenant's personal property for a short period of time (15 days, I think) at which time you can then dispose of the belongings by selling them or auctioning them off. The tenant would be responsible for the storage fees but since you are evicting them, you'll most likely never collect.
