Tenant informed us he is going to jail - now what

Hello BP,

Our tenant in Lincoln, NE of just over 1 year has informed us that he will be sentenced to jail next week.  We asked, what for and are you doing okay?  He explained he wasn't ready to give us details but seemed to be handling the reality ahead of him as well as could be expected. My question to the BP Community is what do we do next?  I'm sure going to jail is new for him so I don't want to bombard him with questions he doesn't know. He says the sentencing will happen on Sept 2. Not much time. What do we do with his stuff? I can't imagine knowing I was facing jail time and then my landlord says, well move your stuff out this weekend.  I haven't heard this one on the podcast yet.  Hoping you all might have a suggestion.

Troy
