Given the circumstances surrounding closing, I can't say I blame you for putting the stuff out! He left a mess behind, doesn't have the house cleaned, and wants you storing his stuff for an unspecified amount of time? Hmphh!
I just closed on my house, and the previous owner left some of his stuff in the house. He left pictures, briefcase, laptop, and a few boxes. He said to leave then in front of the garage which I did. They were out there for 5 days before I threw the stuff out. He came by today, 8 days after I put his stuff outside. Is there a time frame I have to hold his stuff before I throw it out? Thanks
After you sign the papers it's to late,he should have been more responsible.No way I'm going to keep track of someones crap after I move in.I would offer to sell the laptop back to him,if not it goes on craigslist.
After making you jump through hoops I would have had a little bonfire in the backyard with his junk and bought some ball park franks and beers to celebrate.
wow typical LI on here, get a lawyer, throw out his stuff etc etc..... when did everyone get this way?
I have to agree a bit. Yes, he should have never left it behind but was there such a huge amount of stuff that it warranted disposal in 8 days? Did it block exits in case of a fire?
Of course there is no reason to feel responsible to 'watch' his stuff but the OP threw away a laptop, among other things. Yes, the guy was a little sloppy and should have never left hist stuff behind. Personally I wouldn't have thrown his crap away.
