I apologize if it comes through twice. <br><br>Commercial tenant was evicted and was removed by the Sheriff under the Writ of Restitution. Unfortunately, the Sheriff wouldn't let the landlord move all of the remaining personal property to the nearest public right of way, so there is still a lot of stuff left inside the building. I'm not seeing anything in 59.12 that addresses this issue and haven't been able to find any case law that seems to give a good indication on what should be done to get rid of the stuff or what the landlord should do. Should landlord mirror what would be required under 59.18, or is there a simpler (faster) way? Assume the lease is silent on the matter. <br><br>Thank you in advance for any assistance. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='punctuation-wrap:hanging;text-autospace:ideograph-numeric ideograph-other'>-- <br><br><span style='position:relative;top:0pt;mso-text-raise:0pt'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>Very Truly Yours,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Gregory L.
