What are the legal obligations of a new homeowner if the previous owner leaves furniture in the house after moving out?

So we sued her and won!

This leaves the other question: CAN THEY SUE ME?

Several things:

Can you name a song with the word 'why' in it?

After learning from the brothers, the Judge asked her “Can you prove that this xxx (item) was in your parent’s possession? If so, at what time and when?”

After almost 2 months had passed on, while the former Home Owner “downsized”, they were still nearby. In fact, they touched bases with me often.

Financial Problems

How exactly do things get smuggled into prison? Does the sender hide it inside something else very well? Does someone put it in their butt? Do the prisoners make deals with the officers?

She couldn’t answer it, she just “assumed” that when xxx had passed, it was verbally promised to her dad or her mom! Just because it was “verbally promised” does not mean that he/she had it! Judge had to advise her “Even though they “might” have had it, they could have sold it!”

Once we were in court:

In Florida, Slander of Title is a tort, which means that it is a civil wrong that can be remedied via a lawsuit.

I moved their entire home contents to a local storage, some of this stuff were to be boxed and labeled by the movers!

Bad weather

Well, if contact was made and there was sudden death in family and the previous owner DID notify you, due to “60–90 day” (local laws varies but this is the normalcy). And you, the New Owner was made aware of. You “may” be liable!

About 95% of the time, the stuff that are left behind are now yours!

Technically, anyone can sue! However the Judge looks at the original closing. The Failure of the Previous Owner is not the fault of the New Owner! If it is not in writing, the previous owner has no case!

If you had moved in, at least be nice, advise them to come back and pick up the remainder of items left in house, they have 10 days to pick it up or they will be donated to charity, yours, or disposed of.

So you could imagine when I handed the son the key to “bring it back” to the Charity, the Director’s reaction. After all, they had all paperwork with warranty / limited warranty to give to the Charity!

Trump administration, for 1st time, returns wrongly deported migrant to US - ABC News

If you have all documented proofs that YOU made all attempts, the Judges often sees this as “being nice when you were not required to do so”.

I told them to “wash and wax” the Charity Truck, because “the charity donated the use of the truck” and did not “charge” → they went so far to DETAIL that truck where it never was so “pristine”. The fuel was “Full Tank” they also changed the oil, and the other son who’s a mechanic with his friends, did a tune up, having brand new glow plugs (diesel). And a brand new battery was put in, as well as oil change! Two tires were “replaced” (because they were worn, and needed it) from picking up one from the Junk Yard, and the other took it to his Uncle’s Tire Place to be mounted and balanced, instead the Uncle there decided to install 4 brand new tires (it’s a small local Box Truck) at “no charge”.

In very rare cases, the original owners are going to pick up the remainder! They often leave a note, like on the refrigerator or contacts the new owner. There’s reasons why it got delayed.

Has a conversation with someone who holds opposing political views ever caused you to change your own beliefs?

Now in the event of Medical / Death → you might be stuck with holding them up to 60–90 days!

Motor vehicle accident that left person or people involved injured

By this time, I had already upgraded, updated, and sold their parent’s old home; until a couple months later the NEW home owners filed suit against me?

What is truer than that which is true?

The “claim” the sister had, which she “stated” she had found the documentations and photos of such said some of the items on that list.

In medical cases: Depending on type of medical, Judges can go “both ways” in favor of the Former Homeowner or against! I’ve known some cases personally where the Judges went:

Well, their Sister hired a lawyer (!) and that was when I found out their sister (residing in California), made “drastic” claims that “I” stole a laundry list of stuff. Their Lawyer demanded that I “surrender” or pay $xxxxxxxx (unrealistic sum of money) of “stolen goods”.

What is the impact of being stereotyped as poor on an individual's life? How does it make them feel?

The lien was removed by the Judge, and even today, that woman still owes us money. From what I learned from the Younger Brother, their sister is divorced, homeless, broke, and stuck in California!

Birth of child(ren)

Judge again, awarded the favor to me, and then also ordered the brothers to be paid twice the amount for their time!

If you followed me you would see the example of one Home Owner that never returned to pick up their items, and gave the new home owner a run around, and went so far to call the Police and in addition, causing damage to the New Home Owner’s property! They lost the lawsuit! Not only did the statue of limitations expire, but to the fact, both previous Home Owners were arrested and charged!

IN FAVOR OF PREVIOUS HOMEOWNER:

Like the smarter middle brother said to his sister “how come you know all about this stuff, but once you left (high) school, you ran off, got married, and lived in California, and only made 2 trips for the holidays to be with Mom and Dad, and hardly ever wrote or called Mom and Dad? And we’ve been here for eternity and been in and out, if those stuff existed as you claim, we would have known about it!”

Criminal (where one or two were arrested/jail)

Communication is very important!

The Home Owner allowed their 2 sons (who also lived nearby) to meet at their old home and to load up stuff and take it over to their “new home”. Their sons helped a lot because they had friends and buddies who also had pick up trucks. At least 3/4th of the stuff that were left behind were now over to their property while their Parents were “out of the area” handling the Estates of their dearly departed!

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

The great idea is to move their stuff to a more secured location - such as in a garage, piled up. If you do not have a garage, then put it all in a room.

Slandering of Title is a CRIME!

ANOTHER EXAMPLE:

Is having white skin really that attractive?

You would think “all was well.” NOT!

AGAINST THE PREVIOUS HOMEOWNER:

Issues with Closing on other property (for example, the previous home owner brought a property but at closing on their end, there were issues - such as Mortgage, Inspection, etc)

Judge reviewed the “claim”.

What I did was contacted a Charity to “rent” their small box truck, I told the Director the problem and they were in “dire need”. The Director didn’t believe me at first, until I told him to speak with them directly, I CALLED them and told them to explain to this Director your situation. By the time he (previous Home Owner) was half way through the laundry list, immediately the Director said “Never mind, we will permit the usage of the Box (truck)!”

The list above is NOT exhaustive!

When the new home owners informed me about this, I went back to the Title Company (alongside with the New Home Owners) and I saw who put it there! I knew who she was, and what did we do? File “SLANDER OF TITLE” against the sister.

Executor/Executrix of Estate of recently departed (NOTE: This does not necessarily mean that it was a family member, it could be anyone!)

Required Stitches/Sutures due to injury

Medical/Death Emergencies

Judge awarded the win to me.

Organ failure, in hospital, can be in critical to serious condition

The previous Owner had, multiple problems! Death in Family, Emergency Surgery (met the criteria), loss of (foster) child due to DUI, and if it wasn’t one thing it was another! The movers never even showed up, so they had to “charge back” and file a suit against the local movers and lost money on that because “moving company went out of business”.

They were “expecting” me to fly to their “California” Courthouse, in fact, that lawyer tried, and I had filed a counter suit, they had to be here at the place of “occurrence” which was in Florida! I had subpoena the two brothers.

What about the other 1% of the time?

(It was very easy to see it wasn’t their parent’s house at all, for one thing, Florida does not have mountain ranges in the background!)

Death of “Extended” Family (which are not “next of kin”) unless see above *Executor/Executrix*, they are normally limited to “one step over”, so this means if your 3rd Cousin died, regardless how close one might be, Judges do not ‘see’ this.

As the time narrows down - for example you gave them 10 day notice, then keep calling every other day until the 24 hour notice manifests. KEEP all recording (a video/audio is very helpful here).

It doesn’t matter how it ends up, 99% of the time the previous owner loses!

The remainder of the 3/4th of the stuff, we just boxed them and moved them to the garage, to be picked up at a later date, it stayed there for almost 11 months, before one of their son swung by to make a couple of trips to pick up the stuff left behind.

That previous owner could verify every-thing!

The Judge repeatedly asked for proof! Their sister could not!

This is where it became very interesting → their Sister tacked a “LIEN” on the property for $1.5 million, which the property wasn’t even worth anywhere NEAR that!

Death in family (must be next of kin, not some distant family member)

The Sister made “drastic” claims of a laundry list that I stole. But yet, she could not provide proof that such were in existence! In fact, the brothers, when confronted by the Judge, didn’t know their parents even had or owned it.

Well, one problem, if it was “her mom’s or dad’s, why was it at their Aunt’s house? Great Aunt’s house?” Yes, I had to subpoena the two brothers again! Thankfully the brothers told the Judge where those photos were located. They know for a fact, their Mom and Dad didn’t have it, it was taken in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s at xxxx’s farm or house!

One property I purchased.

As a New Owner of that property, you just had to feel the frustration of the former Home Owner! While THERE WAS NOTHING REQUIRED ON MY END, it’s called “Being Nice!”

2) If the Previous Owner had disclosed that they will return to pick up remaining furniture (usually within the 10–30 days).

Why 11 months? Well, their dad passed! Their mom wasn’t doing very well. Like I said, “we kept in touch”. Once their son picked up the final contents. It was done.

So I learned they had a “sister”, she was the oldest! Not sure what happened to their mom, but I was slapped with a “lawsuit”! I phoned the brothers (I had their number) and they were confused why I was slapped with a lawsuit, but their oldest sister was the Executrix of their mother. They told me they would try to find out, they were NOT close with their sister!

Yes, you might have to “put up with it” or if it is all possible → maybe work with the former home owner to move it into a nearby storage and offer your assistance!

Rental Truck broke down

However, this was quickly appealed! While rejected twice, the third time, it was approved. Another hearing came up, while a different Judge presided.
