How long before his stuff is mine?

tichwoli

I would write him a letter and tell him that he has so many days to remove his stuff and if he does not the stuff rightfully becomes yours. Then do with it what you will.

You need to consult a lawyer, because the laws will vary by location. I'd imagine that you can send him a certified letter with a time limit (according to your local laws) and if he does not respond, the property becomes yours to do with as you see fit.

If he said he'd pick it up by Jan 01, 2007 in writing, then I'd say it already is yours. Technically, he could (and should) rent a storage unit.

Coincidentally, I was looking through some old texts that I had saved to document things people said, and the Message Information on my phone doesn't indicate what year the text was sent, only the month and date -- double check yours. Also, I don;t know if it would hold up in court, since just because it came from his cell doesn't mean that he was actually the person who sent it.

Hi, I think you had better seek some proper legal advice instead of posting your question on here.

From a legal point of view title of the goods are his. Due to the physical abuse he has given you in the past would you want to give him any cause to harm you by selling his stuff of dumping it. You may be able to sell or keep the items but there will be correct ways of doing it which must be in writing.

Do it legally and make sure there is no come back on you.

PS. I would be interested in the plasma if you get the go ahead to sell it.

Serve him a certified letter & give him what you think a judge would consider a reasonable amount of time to get his stuff after serving the letter.

I think that you need to draw up a contract for him to sign stating that there are storage fees and by a certain date he must take his things or you will be forced to give them to the amity.

He as abandoned his belongings. I wouldn't sell it if he doesn't owe you anything, but to give it away so you don't have to give him the money.

twosweethounds

You can't "steal" his stuff, but you're under no obligation to store it for him, either.

So it really depends on who owns the house or pays the rent. If you own the house or you are wholly responsible for the rent, send him a notice, in writing, that he has 30 days to get his stuff out, or you'll dispose of it yourself.

As long as he owns the house or pays some of the rent, on the other hand, he can keep stuff there, unless you were granted exclusive use of the house by a court of law.

Good luck.

slopoke6968

give him something in writing saying he has 30 days to get his stuff out or you will trash it..................kinda like a 30 day eviction.............it will hold up if he ever tries to sue you for those things!!

Byte

write him a letter giving him 7 days to collect or you will dump them , keep a copy of the letter and send recorderd delivery .

Thant way you have proof that you have taken reasonable steps to allow him time to collect

Good luck

fafandloo

I wouldn't sell it , it still would be classed as theft , your best bet is ring him or send him message and tell him all his things will be left outside on a certain day if he wont's them come get them if he don't not your problem.

If he put you through years of physical and mental abuse, keep the stuff you want and take all his personal belongings to the skip. I would have done it the day I put him out.

Don't create yourself any new legal problems.
Rent a storage space, store the "stuff" there. Send a certified letter to him that you will not renew the rental and let him know it is there to pick-up.

This is what my attonery advised, when I had a similar problem.

whats yours is yours whats his is yours, lol

You can give him a letter saying that his stuff must be cleared out by a specific date (no less than 30 days). After that, whatever is left will be considered your property and will be trashed. Or you could tell him you'll put it in storage and charge him the monthly charge to store it for him.
Send the letter certified to him and keep a copy of the letter for yourself.

meonlyme

i heard that if there is nothing being paid to store it, then, after 3months it's your's. call your local police station they will beable to tell you.

Salt&Pepper Apricot

Contact a lawyer and have the lawyer send an order that he has 7 days to get his things or they will be legally yours to do whatever you want with. Wait the 7 days, and if he doesn't get his stuff, then sell it. You want to be 100% on the up and up, and you'll have your hind end covered this way should he take you to court.

Granny

Tell him that he has 14 days to collect his things or you will give them to the local charity shop, if he does not have the room for them that is not your problem, he has to know some one that will help him out, the longer you have things belonging to him the longer it will take for you to get him out of your life.

Kimberlee Ann

Set a date and give him fair warning. Get it on tape or in an e-mail. Small claims court or Divorce Court will back you up if you adhere to the rules.

Guy

This is easy, call the poilce and ask them. Give them all of the details.

grateful

Can he prove any of it belongs to him? Unless he is willing to start paying for your "storage" facilities, as well as paying for past year of storage, I would sell/donate all of it.
If you're worried about the legalities, draw something up in writing, mail it certified, return receipt...give him 10 days to respond.
He's continuing/and you're allowing him to abuse you. You'll never move on until you get rid of everything.

cope_acetic

Give him a deadline--say a month from now, and STICK TO IT!
Tell him anything that's still at your house the day AFTER the deadline will become your property or be thrown away.

I think he left it there as a "backup plan " to see you and get back together---let him no that's not gonna happen, and he'll come & get the stuff.

strawberrymewkitty2012

If I were you I would take it to a judge and they will set a date that the stuff has to be out by. If he doesn't get it out by then you will be able to do whatever you want with it! Guess I watch Judge Judy to much!^^ XD

windy miller

possession 9/10 of the law

LDJ

Do you ever watch court TV No its not yours. Check with a lawyer or you could be paying out money you don't want to pay.

chelsea19622000

I would bag it up in black bin liners and then leave them outside your front door. Text him and tell him what you have done and then give him a deadline to collect them. If they are left there, then let the dustmen take them.

mountaineagle7

I'd don't know...how much did you say you wanted for that flat panel television? LOL

troutslayer

tell him he has till say 2 weeks to do something or you're having a yard sale, if he really wants the stuff he'll get off his butt & rent a storage instead of using you and your place as his free storage. if you are really worried about the law call up your local pd and talk to them.

LEIGH T

Wow what a good question I have just got rid of a man like yours and I have his stuff here I was just going to throw it out he owes me and my children so I class it all as mine

salemgirl1972

I would send him a certified letter, telling him the date it will be on the curb......just to cover your own butt.....

If you've been doing it for a year, why be a witch about it now and charge a "maintenance"......if you got rid of him for mental and physical abuse, why you'd want to be "nice" to him and hold his stuff is beyond me....

ALLEN B

Send a letter registered post requesting he pick up his gear within 30 days or it will be disposed of.
Please don't take offence but if I had years of physical and mental abuse, " KEEPING HIS STUFF" would be a very low priority in my books.

jaminatab

gurl watch court tv.that will show u how to get away with it.

jeffinsheff
