[RPPTL LandTen] Eviction Question

[Joseph Alexander]

Section, 83.62, Florida Statutes; 

Sections 715.10-715.12, Florida Statutes represent the "Disposition of
Personal Property L/T Act."

 

Now that you mention it, maybe we should suggest that the legislature
put some reference to the "Disposition of Personal Property L/T Act" in
Chapter 83 (I don't think there is a current reference).

Thank you,                          P Think before you print.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Eviction Question

 

Dear Group Members,

 

I have a case where my client (landlord) evicted a tenant and when the
Sheriff execute the Writ, tenant had not moved any of the personal
items.  Sheriff told landlord to "dispose" of the property, which
landlord interpreted to mean throw in the trash.  Now, former tenant is
suing landlord for the lost value of tenant's property.  

 

Does anyone know of any case law or legal authority that clearly defines
what landlord can and cannot do with tenant's property after eviction?
Since the leased premises was a condo, landlord could not simply leave
it all at the property line because that would have been a violation of
condo rules.

 

Any ideas are appreciated.
