They used to stay with my hubby but they have moved out a long while ago. And yet, they are still treating the guest rooms as their warehouse and I am sick and tired of it. All the storerooms are filled with their stuff. And my hubby does not want to cause any family issues and he said that he feels awkard to bring it up. The house is brought under a family trust fund. Except my hubby's name, my mother in law's name is on the title agreement too.

If your mother n law's name is on the property title then it is her house as well and nothing can be done. It might be worth it to offer to pack up the stuff and put it in a storage rental unit. It isn't fair but with her being part owner of the house you really don't have a choice. You shouldn't have to pay for that but she has already demonstrated a degree of inconsideration. It would be worth your piece of mind to pay the fees to have more space. You may be surprised at how quickly she decides she desperately needs stuff. Or you could have a garage sale. Start tagging the stuff and play dumb. "OH, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you wanted anything from those rooms as they have been here for over a year. Well, here is what the items sold for...." Then hand her the money.

Tell them you are cleaning out the house of unused items, and you were thinking of having a tag or garage sale. Ask them if they'd like to contribute anything from your guest room because you need the extra space. That oughtta get them moving right along.Remember possesion is 9/10th's of the law.

I would call the in-laws and tell them "the rodents and roaches have moved in and I really have to do something about it.I am having a giant spring clean, lawn sale next weekend, if there is anything they particularly want to keep would they come and grab it so you don't sell it by 'accident'." After that I would bin the rest.

You are living in a house that belongs to your husband and his family? Are they pack rats which makes it hard to clean? Is it possible to consolidate their possessions and store neatly in one room or one part of the garage?
The other owners haven't really moved out -- they left their stuff behind.

the best thing u can do is use them as if it was bought by you husband. If ur in laws get offended they will take away, if not u are happy to use them until they become obselete and useless. then u can throw away after some time as u do with other stuff.

You are too nice. Grow a spine, take a deep breath, then tell the inlaws they have 3 weeks to move their goodies out. If they dont do it, have a garage sale!

I would ask them, politely to remove their items form your home(because you are married to their son) if they do not remove the items you will start charging them storage fees. A friend of mine did that and my parents did that when my sister's stuff took up more than half their basement. Good Luck:)

The house is yours to live in and it's your space but they might have the right to keep their stuff there but not all over the house they don't live there so have them put it in one place or take it away its up to them. maybe a shed or out building
good luck!

You say it's a family house. The family has a right to use the house.
Am I missing something?
