FAQs

My neighbor was evicted yesterday and there is a mess in the yard. Who do I contact to get the mess cleaned up?

Any property which is placed to the curb during the eviction process is the property of the tenant. It is considered theft to take that property once placed to the curb. If the property has been there for more than 24 hours, the neighbor should contact the Land Owner for disposal. This is usually the responsibility of the landlord. If, however, the property is placed to an area where it is considered private property, such as, condos or apartments, a person may contact that association or rental office to request clean up.

A Deputy posted a notice on my door saying he was going to recover furniture by forcibly entering the home. I repeatedly told the furniture company I do not live at the address and all furniture has been moved. How do I stop them from entering the house

Once the Writ has been issued, the Sheriff has the authority to use force to execute the order. It is not necessary that you be there; simply have someone available to let the Sheriff and the furniture company in to confirm what you have told him. This should stop repeated contact from the furniture company.
