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.

Cary
