You can ask for possession plus rent in your action for possession.  

If their contact doesnt remove their items we will store them (at their cost) for up to 30 days.In your situation I would let the sheriff finish the eviction so its official.Problem number 2 we handle by saying that if the rent is unpaid for 5 days after the due date and we are unable to contact the tenant we have the right to assume abandonment and take back over possession of the property, thus we can avoid the eviction process.  

They are generally the best looking buildings with the best construction, and possess high-quality building infrastructure.

You can't take possession unless you pay the HOA dues in full.

Although we have not had to go through and finalize the proceedings if you own the 2nd you CAN foreclose and take  possession of the property, this is what gives you leverage and stops people from skipping out on the bill so to speak.  

I would have deemed the property abandoned and taken possession as you already have.

@Donna PattaniKeep focus on the prize which is possession of a vacant property. 

Neutral shades enable homeowners to envision their furniture and other possessions fitting into the space, without being distracted by the vivid colors on the walls.
