It appears you have to babysit their things for thirty (30) days.

From nolo.com:

After the tenant has been evicted, the landlord might find that the tenant has left behind personal property. If the tenant has informed the landlord in writing that the belongings are abandoned, then the landlord can dispose of the items immediately without any liability to the tenant. Otherwise, the landlord must wait for 30 days before disposing of the property. The landlord can either leave the property in the rental unit or remove it to a storage unit. If the tenant does not claim the property within 30 days (and pay for the costs of storage, if applicable), then the landlord can dispose of the property without any liability to the tenant (see W. Va. Code § 55-3A-3(h)).

 I would first request the old billing for the address. Are they hitting you for the past-due balance of the previous owner(s)? I hope not.

Since you don't have the unit in an LLC, I, as a business adviser, would recommend to a client in the same circumstance to charge themselves the rent, and to TRANSFER THE FUNDS TO THE APPROPRIATE ACCOUNT.

I apologize for the slight derail of your thread.

I wish you the best, and stand by my caveat emptor for any professional, and especially gurus.

 This is my last post on this.

I don't want to go back and forth past this point: think about yourself personally. Is there ANYONE that YOU don't hold accountable for the products and services provided to you? That's about the whole thing right there.

Exactly. Are you saying you don't have anything worth guaranteeing? *smile*

I worded it like I did, but the bottom line is everybody on planet Earth is accountable. I am simply referencing the concept of professional accountability. You hold your lawyer, accountant/bookkeeper, banker, grocer, etc. accountable, as do I. Gurus are not exempt.

I tell this to my business consulting clients all the time: I NEVER do business with ANYONE who does not guarantee their product or service. NO ONE.

Most gurus, real estate or otherwise, DON'T guarantee their products or services.

 Something told me to click on this, and I am glad I did. This is interesting that you have the same job my best friend had.

It is public employee union. The minimum is about 20% more (per hour) than you have as your current rate. And I think you have had this job for a bit, so you would get at least a dollar on top of that. Is Cheyenne better than Akron? Maybe. Maybe not.

How was the money printed that you don't want to use to pay your taxes? With tax money.
