[RPPTL LandTen] Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act

[Law Offices of Scott A. Frank P.A]

All:

 

I have a question regarding Part III of Chapter 83 (self-storage), and am looking for some guidance, if possible.

 

Scenario:  2 years ago, a new tenant rented a storage unit.  He had a military ID card, so he was noted in his file as military.  He has now gone unpaid for over a year.  Letters sent to his prior address come back with no forwarding address.  No phone number.   Client has neither social security # or birth date, so we cannot verify active service.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to how long client needs to wait?  Of course, client always risks violating the Act, but there must be some period after which the violation is less of a risk.  Problem is that this is very different from an apartment rental scenario – absence tells you nothing as to intent, as it is not unusual at all to leave stuff in storage and not go back for months or even years.

 

Thoughts? 

 

Thanks in advance.
