QUESTION
I gave notice to vacate commercial property but didn't vacate on time
Asked on Mar 30th, 2017 on Commercial Real Estate - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
I terminated my commercial lease and agreed to be out on the 15th. I didn't completely move out when the landlord removed the remainder of my property and changed the lock. He did send me a certified letter saying since I am not out I have to keep paying daily fee but didn't give me a chance to accept it and removed the property. He didn't go through courts to get the possession of the property back. He says he still has the property but I don't know if he took anything and will give back everything that's there. What are my options? How can I prove that I had stuff there and he didn't steal it?

I think the first step here is to review your lease and see what it says about the situation. You should certainly send a written demand to the landlord detailing what you left on premises, demand that the LL safe keep it and demand that you be able to recover it by a certain date. How much is the stuff worth? You have to weigh the costs of a legal proceeding vs. value of the items to decide if they're worth pursuing.
