Evictions: What happens if you don't remove your possessions on the day the bailliffs come?

Answer 1

Different states have different rules and in some states, differently localities may have differently rules, depending on how much home rule the state allows its municipalities and the rules for unincorporated territority. As a general rule, if the items are in the apartment when the bailliff comes, it gets set out to the curb. The landlord is not responsible for your items or even damages that occur during the set out, as as they weren't purposely or neglectfully damaging something. You may be charged for the set out service, as well as the normal move out charges for damages in excess of normal wear and tear. The landlord may not be allowed to take your items, although some states/areas do have rules whereby the landlord may store and/or auction off the items after a certain period and deduct it off outstanding rent and charges.

Note: In places where the landlord can only simply set your items out to the curb, it may be still be bad, because the vultures (e.g., scavengers, neighbors, etc.) may be able to get to your stuff and take it away if you don't have a plan for how you're going to pick it up and it can be embarrassing to have your stuff put out like that for the neighborhood to see.

Answer 2

the bailiffs put outside in the garden and you have to make arrangements to remove. they do not sell or auction the items and they do not belong to the next tenant. the items are your property and you will be reqiured to guard them against theft
because by virture of the fact they are in the open someone can easily steal the items. nobody as title to the property only you so it is your own intrests to remove all items before the bailiffs arrive normally bailiffs will not damage any of your property on purpose but if they do they are liable for any damage caused in the action of the removal but once the items have been removed they are no longer liaable

Answer 3

They will remove your things from the unit and pile them up on the curb. For this reason you should make arrangements to put your things in storage or move prior to the day the eviction is served by the bailiff or sheriff.

Answer 4

Depending on the state, the landlord must keep your possessions secure and safe for 30 days. If you don't contact the LL to get it, after 30 days it can be trashed.

Answer 5

In the UK, if its a house you have owned, they dont have the right to take your possessions, only the house. The keys would be handed to an estate agent who would allow you supervised access to the property to remove your things.

Answer 6

The owner of the property has the right to put it at the curb for garbage collection, sell it or hire someone to cart it away.

Answer 7

They will also charge you for removing your belongings, so if you can not take anything big put it on freecycle, free to collector.

Main Freecycle Website

Welcome to the Official UK Freecycle(R) Groups' Website
The worldwide Freecycle Network is made up of many individual groups across the globe. It's a grassroots movement of people who are giving (and getting) stuff for free in their own towns.

Freecycle groups match people who have things they want to get rid of with people who can use them. Our goal is to keep usable items out of landfills. By using what we already have on this earth, we reduce consumerism, manufacture fewer goods, and lessen the impact on the earth. Another benefit of using Freecycle is that it encourages us to get rid of junk that we no longer need and promote community involvement in the process.

How does Freecycle work?
Everything posted must be free, legal and appropriate for all ages. When you want to OFFER something - whether it's a chair, fax machine, piano or an old door, simply send an email to your group.

Maybe you're looking to acquire something yourself? Post a WANTED message and a group member may just have what you're looking for. Alert the group with a follow-up RECEIVED email.

After that it is up to the giver to decide who receives the gift from the responses only they receive and to set up a collection time, and finally post an item TAKEN message.

Message Posting Etiquette
Please use the following subject line format when posting messages:

OFFER: drum kit ('your location')
TAKEN: drum kit ('your location')
WANTED: ear plugs ('your location')
RECEIVED: ear plugs ('your location')

Messages will be rejected if this format is not followed! Please also be aware that Freecycle lists can generate lots of messages a day, so you might want to subscribe to the Daily Digest option!
Help!
You need to be subscribed to a group before you can post a message!
