Advice please on removing ex-friends stuff from my home (apartment, how much)

[jacksonvillefrog]

I'm hoping someone can help me, I live in North Carolina.
I live in a rented apartment and I allowed a friend and her son to stay with me cause they had no were else to go. I asked her to pay some money towards living expenses. She wanted cable TV so I told her she had to pay for that, I paid for internet.
She gave me some money but never covered her expenses completely, and it was months and months that she gave me nothing.
I paid for most of the food cause I felt her 11 year old son had to eat. I had 1 rule that there was to be no smoking pot in the house especially when her son was around. That was broken right after she moved in, when I found her smoking pot on the couch with a friend and passing it in front of her son. I told her she was not allowed to smoke in the house so she would smoke with a neighbor and her son.
Well since they were smoking pot on the street (its legal still here in NC) the whole neighborhood saw them smoking with the kid.
Some one called child protective services on her and she blamed me for it. The day child protective services showed up she said she was being forced to move out.
She took some of her belongings and returned the next day and took some more. that is over 2 months ago.
I have tried to get her to get the rest of her stuff and she has one excuse after an other as to why she can not pick up her stuff.
I have no idea were she is living but I do know were she works.
When I have spoken to her she is demanding that I give her back money (that she did not give me) saying that since she was forced to move it is causing her finical hardship she had to take days off of work to handle child protective services. She also is threatening to sue me for lost wages, slander, loss of work and pain and suffering.
I am not concerned about her suing me over her moving and child protective services cause if she had a case I would have heard from her attorney by now.
I just want her stuff out of my home and to be done with her.
So any suggestions on how to get rid of her

Thank You

This sounds like it could become a volatile situation -- You didn't say how much 'stuff' she has - Can it be boxed-up and delivered or is a truck needed? If the former, box it up and send word to her at work asking where she would like it delivered, if not to her place of work on (date).

If the latter, you could deliver a letter to her place of work. Tell her you are sorry that you can no longer store her things. Advise that you intend to move her things outside on (date) and will cover it with a tarp, but, she will need to arrange to pick it up to avoid possible damage. Mail a copy of the letter (noted on her letter) to a friend, to avoid potentially "you didn't tell me and now you are responsible for my possessions" problem later-on.

Thank You
Its not big stuff a pick up truck should be good enough its mostly clothes, a flat screen TV, a bike, a bed frame. There is about 20 bags of clothes and shoes.

I don't drive so I can deliver her stuff to her.

I have a friend that is a process server, I can have him bring the letter.

"You're stuff is out on the lawn - better come get it before it gets stolen"

She may not have been paying in full cash, but really bro. I'm sure you were getting "compensated".
They are/we're using you!
Toss her stuff at the curb or wherever your trash is picked up like a boss, and then Ditch her. She toxic dude.
Like above poster said call her and let her know where to find her belongings.
Good luck.

You think this person has an attorney on retainer??? Come on.

I would tell her what someone above said 'on X date, your stuff will be on the lawn. Come and get it".

This is a letter I had a process server, serve her at her job, since I have no idea were she is living. I knew when he served it cause I got 6 calls back to back. I was working and could not answer the phone and I was advised not to speak to her at all any more, she called me 3 more time and left 1 voice message and texted me 4 times.

Dear ****,
This letter is about your property stored at ******, left by you on April 28th 2018.
To this date, the property has not been picked up. This is your notice that unless this property is picked up by July 12th 2018, the property in question will be donated and otherwise disposed of.
North Carolina Code allows $15.00 per day for storage of your property from April 28th till the day of pick up..
Please text me at ********* to coordinate pickup of the property.
I will be available on Saturdays all day and Sundays after church.
Sincerely,

She is calling me a coward, saying I'm lying, I'm ugly, that this letter was fake, and not to ever send someone to her job to drop off paper work. and than I'm trying to get a reaction out of her. I just want her stuff gone and her too.

I have kept all the messages and text from her.

She also said that she has wanted to pick u her stuff but I have prevented her from doing so, which is not true. I stayed home 1 day that she said she would be here around 2 and she called to say she could not pick up the stuff cause the storage place was closed that day, I called the storage place and felt like an idiot, but asked them were the open and the woman laughed and said yes, they close for an hour lunch but they were open.

I do thank you all for your advice any more is welcome.

Right now I feel like I will never do an other nice thing for anyone, I hope this passes
