QUESTION

What do I do with tenant’s belongings?

Asked on Jan 19th, 2013 on Landlord and Tenant Law - Delaware
More details to this question:
I am the property owner. I went through an eviction case and won. I was issued a writ of possession and the officers came and executed it. The day before they came to remove my tenant from the property, my tenant was arrested. She is currently in jail awaiting trial. Am I protected by Florida state statute 83.62, which states after a writ is executed all left behind property can be moved to the property line? I am concerned with this because I know she will not be able to come pick up any of the items because her court date isn’t until February 28th. I do not what to be legally liable for her things since she is not able to get them. At what point can I have waste management come to pick up the left behind items?

Since she is incarcerated, you may want to contact JP Court for the best way to handle this.
