the issue at hand is a question of whether the property is considered abandoned or a hold over. this issue would vary slightly state to state, and would most likely fall on the judgement of the judge who presides over the case. however, if nothing has been removed from the apartment, I doubt any judge would call it abandoned, perhaps if all utilities are turned off you may have an argument. if everything is missing except garbage and maybe a couch, then you are probably looking at abandonment, but from the way the story reads, I doubt any judge would be happy with what the landlord did.

Renee,Thanks so much!

So a rigid contract could box one of you into a corner.We hired a President for our property management company.  

I was the lender they were the borrowers and when things went bad their tenants stopped paying they could would pay for a few months then quit and then I took the asset.. lost of drama lots of marital discord .. was not pretty.. but I am not predicting those times again I am hoping that was once in a life time.. but folks that had free and clear assets even if they sat vacant they did not lose them.. that's my point.. no most of my friends that made it owned business or were presidents of companies that went public and got monster stock payouts.. remember I am from the Bay AREA...

I am in the process of writing my operating agreement for my LLC in Florida and am naming myself the “Principal” rather than CEO or President. 

Thanks to Renee, Patrick, Bjork and Josh for attending today's lunch and learn.It feels amazing to be able to bounce ideas off each other and learn. 

@Khloe Renee Williams Yes you can but it is not recommended.  

Border control could get harder under this President too.Being in construction for about 30 years leads me to any problem that could occur and your ability to be the or at least find someone that can do what needs to be done. 

If the owner is a corporation, the name, address and telephone number of the president of the corporation shall be posted. [410.481]You can find the full PDF here: https://www.sec.state.ma.us/cis/cispdf/Safe_and_Sanitary.pdf
