Does anyone know anything about rental property abandonment in the state of Connecticut??????

Question

Well I have a 2 bedroom apt in Connecticut and it also came with a studio seperate on the third floor that I was letting my niece stay in. She was supposed to get a job after moving in and pay me $75.00 a week which included heat, hot water, cable, electric, internet, and phone. After 6 weeks she still hadn't found a job, or paid me any rent so I told her she had to go. The same day she said she was moving out and took only a few items saying she'd return the following day to get the rest. She never came back. It's been 10 days since she "abandoned" the apartment, and I have since re-rented it to someone else. I packed up all her stuff and cleaned the apartment myself(took me 2 days. 6 hours just in the bathroom!)and told her (this past Thursday that she had until Wednesday to get the rest or I would dispose of it myself. This isn't a storage facility, and I barely have room for my own stuff. She said I'd be arrested if i did. What if any rights do I have?Do i have to store her stuff?

Answer 1

You may wish to check with an attorney but for the most part the standard practice is this;

Send her a registered letter. Inform her that if the property is not picked up in 30 days it is considered abandoned and under the law it will be disposed of. The property actually becomes yours to sell or toss out.

After 30 days she s**t out of luck. Just be sure to send any correspondence registered receipt.

You do have to retain her stuff but after 30 days and the letter...ha!...no self respecting cop would pinch you.
