TENANTS REFUSING TO REMOVE PERSONAL PROPERTY
09-05-2025
STORM
09-05-2025

 

  1.   Many Tenants have vacated due to Hurricane Ian and are refusing to remove their personal property.

 

  1.  The fact that a Tenant has appeared to vacate does not give the Property Manager or Owner the right to dispose of the Tenant’s personal property.

 

  1.   You MUST get a FORM signed by all the Tenants stating that you may dispose of their personal property.  

 

  1. Verbal agreements are useless. If you cannot get the Tenant to sign a CONFIRMATION OF VACATING PREMISES, do whatever possible to contact the Tenant by text or email and get all Tenants to confirm they have vacated and do not want ANY personal property left behind. SAVE all texts and emails.

 

  1.   If your lease has the proper abandoned property clause and the Tenant has abandoned PER LAW, you may be able to remove the personal property but there is an incredible risk.

 

  1.  Do whatever possible to get the Tenant to sign a CONFIRMATION OF VACATING PREMISES our office provides.   

 

  1.  If the Tenant refuses to give you written confirmation that they have vacated and that you may dispose of the personal property, we will give you the proper notice and we will file an eviction when the notice expires.

 

It is crucial that you contact our office when something serious has occurred to the home or you have a dispute with the Tenant.

 

If you delay too long after a problem has begun, we will be unable to assist you.
