start an esgrow account meaning a seperat account for rent! tell him you are going to withhold payment until he does his job! get a lawyer to help you do this if you feel it's this nessassarry!
the esgrow will show that you have the money to pay the rent you are just holding it untill the mainence is fixed!
I would just talk to him first stating this information! but be kind he is your landlord and he may get ticked of if you go above him like that!
but i would say!
Hey landlord! what date will you be cleaning your mess up? if he gives you a date! log it in your new log book of landlord problems and issues! on that date if it is still there.. call him and say you said you were going to pick up this stuff!
this is my final attempt if you can not remove thestuff out of my garage that i pay for i will with hold payment in an esgrow account untill it is done! I don't want to do this but it's getting cold out side i would like to use the garage that i pay for! if you can not meet my requirements i will take a rent decrease and you can keep the garage for yourself!
i'm sure he is going to want his money now not later!
well i hope this helps and Esgrow i don't think i spelt it wright but ask a lawyer! you may need one if you do this! so if he does try to kick you out your a step ahead!
Mad luv

First question is: Is he the property owner or an agent for the owner. Big difference. If an agent, by law he must provide you with an address of the owner upon request. You do not have to disclose any info to the agent. And don,t. this will make him sweat. Give the agent a day and call him back. B.S. him anf tell him you lost the info. The sense of relief will signal he still has his job. Then he'll be open. Nail him with it. If he has any brains, he'll comply. If not, write the agent a letter. Give him 7 days to remove the items. I hope your on a lease or some written agreement. Be sure to review it before to see if there is any stipulation reguarding storage rights. If not you have every legal right to use that area. It's yours and you pay for it. Send the letter certified and request a return signature. It's proof he knows about it. If he fails to remove the items, Rent a storage unit at a storage facility and hire a professional mover. Not friends or family. This way your hands off and everything gets manifested. Your safe! Pay for it and send him the bill and copies of everything. You keep the originals. Be sure you get more than one estimate before you decide. If he tries to sue, the judge wont even hear it. Give him net 30 days to pay. Most likely you can negotiate a deduction from rent. If he's a wiener and gives you notice prior to your lease expiration date. Sue!! Sue!! Sue!!.. You'll collect! Breach of agreement. Do the same procedures if he's the owner. Good luck. Zip

Chuck it out! (no offense to anyone named chuck xmeant.) Call him and tell him "I've put the items in the garage by the the curb/in the basement/at the local goodwill (wherever is easiest for you)."
Fact is, if he's renting you property, which I'm assuming includes use of the garage you mentioned, you have a legal right to use that property. Keep your bills and receipts (ie., did you have to ask your cousin Johny to help with junk removal?) and turn them in to him.
He's being a jerk. YOU are in the right legally and should have full use of the property you rented. If he won't adhere to this principle, get a lawyer!!

You may be out of luck, but it depends on where you live and what the tenant rights are there. Look up tenant rights for your area on the internet, or talk to someone at a lawyer's office or city hall to find out where in your city you can find this information. It also depends on if use of the garage is included in your rent.

study your employ! Does your employ quantity contain use of the storage? if so, the storage isn't protected and also you do not have to any extent further something to whinge about. She would have shown you her motor vehicle or her wallet, it does no longer mean it changed into protected contained in the employ. All that concerns is what's written on the employ that you both signed. If the employ encompasses a storage, then tell her that and say that it really is component of your employ contract it somewhat is legally binding. Failure to adhere to it skill you could take her to courtroom over that, or you will get your self out of the employ.

When I was in college, we had the same thing happen. We had a garage sell and tossed the rest. When he came back around a few months later, he was pissed! We all looked at each other and told him the garage was empty when we moved in.
Nothing more was ever said.

if you are paying rent to rent both the house and garage I would tell him again and if he doesnt move it ask him where he would like it to be moved! As in your going to move it for him!
you have the right heck take him to court and have it moved!

whenever you have idiots like your landlord you must take this to a lawyer atleast the first time so that he would know your not a child for him to try to take advantage of.
