to the tenant, followed by a phone call, giving them the option to come and get it and saying that if they don’t make arrangements to get it by a certain time I will assume that that they are abandoning it and will dispose of it in the most practical way.
The tenant sometimes comes by to get what they want and leaves the rest telling us that they don’t want it and then we toss it. If they simply abandon it all, and there are any items worth selling, then we sell it on craigslist and apply the money to past
due rent giving the tenant a full accounting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Tried to send this yesterday, but it doesn't look like it went through. 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>
