What happens to tenant property after an eviction |
|
|
It varies quite a bit from state to state. In California Civil Code §1983 et
seq |
|
|
The landlord must send a notice to the place the tenant is expected to receive |
|
|
it that (1) describes the property in sufficient detail for the tenant to identify
|
|
|
it, (2) advises him that he has 15 days (18 days if the notice is mailed) to
|
|
|
claim it, (3) apprises him of reasonable storage costs, and (4) tells him
|
|
|
where to claim the property. The notice must also inform him that unclaimed
|
|
|
property of value will be sold at a public sale and property believed to be
|
|
|
worth less than $300 will be kept, sold, or destroyed. After deductions for
|
|
|
storage, advertising, and the sale, landlords must turn over to the county any
|
|
|
residual proceeds. |
|
|
Most landlords assert property has no value, throw it out and don't bother. |
