topher, so you are a renting tenant in your mother-in-law's house. As a renter, I would communicate with the landlord, in this case the mother-in-law, as to the stored belongings of others.

We have lived in rental houses whereby the landlord stored belongings. We had no right to dispose or sort thru the landlord's stuff.

My recommendation is communication with the mother-in-law/landlady!

I had a similar situation. When my grandmother died the house was packed. It seemed to be the drop off point for people in the family. My uncle was the worst offender. He didnt want us to throw anything out but he didnt want to come over and get his crap either. Finally we had to stand our ground and say that the dumpster was being delivered on such and such date. He better come over and get what he wants because its all going. Every now and then he will complain that something he had wanted probably got tossed. Pfff...whatever. If it sat in an attic for 20 yrs, you didnt miss it.

You say you rent from your mother-in-law... meaning your spouse's mom... So what does your spouse think about this situation? Can't she speak about it with her mom?

We got her half-brother to take out about %95 of his stuff before we moved, but I'm thinking about getting some big boxes labeling them and putting everything of theirs in their own boxes
