Answer 1

You are not required to store anybody else's property, unless he's a former tenant or some other former occupant of your house, and you can legally charge him a fee for the storage. The length of time before it becomes abandoned property varies somewhat from state-to-state, but it's usually only a couple of weeks, and afterwards you can do what you want with it. If the guy's a prick and doesn't come and get the car in a reasonable time and if you have a copy of the keys, then the easiest thing to do would probably be to go out one night and simply push the car out onto the street. If the registration and inspection stickers are expired, the cops will eventually ticket and tow it away for free.

Answer 2

It depends on the laws of the state.

Look, it's family. Can you find a place, maybe the back yard under a tarp, or a private storage yard, where it can be stored more or less safely, but not in your driveway?

If you sue him and the court lets you tow it to the dump, you've made a family situation that will never go away. Not wise.

Answer 3

After a certain period of time a vehicle can be considered abandoned. The times will vary from state to state so check your states statutes regarding this.

After that time has passed, you can have the auto removed---either towed to the city impound lot, or towed by a junkyard. (Again check your states statutes as they may require a notice be published or other actions).

If you follow the times and other requirements set in the statutes, you will not be liable for anything. If he wishes to reclaim his vehicle after it has been towed, then he will have to negotiate with the city.

Answer 4

in case you wreck in you are able to desire to be arrested for housebreaking, criminal injury ect as you now no longer stay there. in case you have taken resonable ability to income your belongings back and that they've not worked there are quite a few strategies which comprise a courtroom order. in case you will attend the valuables you are able to ask the police to supply a presence that's achieved by ability of attending your interior sight stn and making an appointment as its no longer an emergency or police matter and in those circumstances police are purely there to sidestep a breach of the peace they have not have been given any powers to do something to aid you. they can't income get entry to for you or aid you eliminate your products. the two events ought to be recent so there is no longer a belongings possession dispute and police would be there to sidestep a Breach Of Peace.

Answer 5

Her brother, technically her property=her problem. Have her tell him that yes, she can legally have it towed away as abadoned property and he would have to pay the bill. I would tell him that he has 2 more weeks to come and get it or that is what you will do.

Answer 6

I would call a tow truck and have it towed to his place at his expense. done.it is abandoned property , is the license plate current? in some cities you can get in trouble for having it in sight if it isnt up to date. how about telling him you will start charging him a storage fee. you have that right.

Answer 7

its your brother in law so you should give him time to get it running in consideration of your wife's parents
