QUESTION
Can I charge a storage fee for a car that is sitting on my property.

More details to this question:
I bought a new car and used my old one as a trade in. It has been 6 months now and the car lot has not picked up my trade. I really didn't want to trade it in. I am hoping I can pressure them into giving me back my car or maybe selling it back to me for a small amount. I also wanted to know if I can claim it as a abandoned car. What are my options?

As a general matter, you cannot charge a storage fee for property of another unless the other person has agreed to pay it, which is not the case here. You can consider sending them a letter stating that, unless they retrieve the vehicle by a specified outside date, you will deem it to be abandoned and will thereafter dispose of it.
