>> A landlord called my office today with a new problem I’m trying to figure out how to solve. Tenant rents a single family house with a garage. The tenant gives a neighbor permission to store a lawnmower in the garage because the neighbor didn’t have space for it. Over time the neighbor slowly moves more and more stuff into the garage, and eventually the backyard of the property. Eventually the neighbors puts a lock on the garage and neither landlord nor tenant can get in. The tenant is a long time occupant and has good relationship with the landlord, he doesn’t just want to kick her out.

>> Question: What’s the best way to go about getting the neighbor to remove his stuff. I’m looking at maybe a forcible detainer or trespass action against the neighbor. Any other claims or ways to get him out? Since the neighbor originally had permission to store a lawnmower I’m a little hesitant to tell them to just break the lock and toss the stuff (apparently the police suggested this when the tenant called)
