Can landlord keep goods after moving out And can he charge for having to move or store even if it's in the rental unit the property


Answer:

Answer

It depends on what state the property is located in. I am a real estate professional in Nevada, and according to our state laws, a landlord must store left behind property for 30 days. If it in not claimed by the 30 day period, the landlord is free to do what he wants with it.

Additionally, the landord cannot retain the renter's property against the renter's will.

As your former landlord, I might file a lien on your property if it's left in the unit and you owe me back rent, or something of that nature.

But if you abandoned your crap, I'm going to bill you, by the hour, for moving it, as well as any rental money I couldn't earn because you left your crap in the unit. Then, if I have to sue you to collect, these amounts (and any back rent) become actual damages. Add court costs, punitive damages and reasonable attorney fees to that judgment, where allowed by statute. And by the way, 30 days passed, so I sold your belongings to a crap dealer ;-)

I hope I didn't arbitrarily lock you out of your home (without going through proper eviction proceedings) and hold your belongings for ransom, because I think that would cast a different light on tings.
