How Do I Prove My Landlord Disposed My Belongings Without My Permission

Yard Sign Placed In My Yard Without Permission, I threw away. Now they want me to pay!?

I live in Indiana.

A yard sign was placed in my yard by an unwanted sender.

I dismantled the sign, put the supports by the road, and threw away the poster.

I received a letter from the yard signs lawyer demanding payment for the sign. Stating the sender won't pay and they expect payment from me or will file a police incident report and civil court suit.

Please provide legal citations I may use in my response letter. I am disgusted by this attorney's tactics and would like to hold them accountable for this attempted extortion (including the lawn sign company that hired them).

Any information?

How do I prove my landlord disposed my belongings without my permission?

If you just go to court and tell them what she threw out and show them the text message thats probably good enough. If she were to say she didn't throw anything out but you responded - then where are my TV, passport, clothes, books, etc; it'll probably be fairly obvious you are telling the truth and you should win the suit.

Problems are, not need to take her to court which means you need to be in the area to do this. Also, you need to know what you lost and what is was worth. So you need to make as detailed a list from memory as you can. The IRS can lists of what stuff is worth based on age (for tax purposes when you deduct charitable donations from your taxes) so this might help with the worth. There is also a forumla you can use to determine the worth based on what you paid for it and how old it was (if you can even figure out what you paid for all this stuff).

Sorry its such a pain what thats what you gotta do.

Can my Landlord throw away my belongings?

I live in an apartment building that charges rent on per person basis. I had a friend over my place for about 2 nights and my manager jumped to the conclusion that this person was staying over the entire lenghth. To prove it to herself, she would enter my property at random times and check up on me? One day she decided to change the locks on the door. At this same time, I was away for a winter break and came back home for about 10 days. When I returned, I went to pick up my keys and the landlord simply says "there is no keys" and shuts the office door on me. So, at this point all my belongings, clothes and such are at the apartment and she is refusing me the keys. Being a naive and dumb student I just ignored everything and spent the rest of the semester sleeping at my girlfriends spot. Since she decided to keep the keys away from me, I decided not to pay rent. This is all happening while I am bound by a 1 year term lease. She never asked for rent and or never gave me any notice to come pay or pick up my stuff. Now that I am nearing my lease term, I was in desperate need of some belongings from the appartment so I decided to go again and give it another shot. At this point, the manager has turned into an angel was being super nice to me. She offered me the keys and said we can continue everything and forget about the months u havent paid. BUT, she says that she threw away all my belongings such as my entire wardrobe and such. AND.. she used all my decorations and flat screen tv and such to show it off. Apparently while I was away, WITHOUT my permission she used my house and my belongings and turned the place into a model house with my stuff. And to top it all off, she throws away all my blankets and wardrobe and everything. NOTE THAT THIS WAS ALL DONE WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

SO... MY QUESTION TO YOU GUYS IS... IS ALL THIS LEGAL?! WHAT THE HELL SHOULD I DO.... I AM STUDENT AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN FRANCISCO... THIS IS IN SAN FRANCISCO... PLEASE HELP ME OUT. THANKS .

Can my landlord legally run a background check on my visitors?

My landlord called me yesterday and asked me to have my boyfriend bring a copy of his driver's license and social security card into the office. When I questioned why, she stated that because he was staying at my house a couple of days each week she needed copies of his information to run a background check on him. I explained that he didn't live there, he has his own apartment, he doesn't receive mail there, and he doesn't even park a vehicle there. She said that it didn't matter and because he was spending a "substantial amount of time there" she needed his information. Can she legally do this? He's not on the lease or responsible in anyway for my rent. We've never had any problems and tend to keep to ourselves most of the time. I guess I'm just feeling harassed at this point and wondering why they are watching me so closely. It's a little creepy.

My Landlord is a SEX OFFENDER!?

I live in NH and I leased a apartment for 1 year for my children and myself and about 7 months after living there I discovered that my Landlord is a Sex Offender. Prior to discovering this my landlord had entered into my apartment while I was not home without my knowledge until after the fact (for non-emergencies). I had informed him never to do it again but of course he did anyway! As soon as I learned this about him I got serious about it and he said that he would not do it again. I recently moved out (Thank God) but I still have possession of the apartment for one more week and still have some personal belongings there including but not limited to pictures of my kids and he went in while I was gone again. Is there any law about renting to a family with children when you are a sex offender?

Can you sue someone for throwing out your property without a warning or permission?

Depends on how long your property was there. Legally there is something called "abandonment". Also, you would need to check all those forms you signed with your former employer. Some employers give between 7 and 30 days to pick up property after termination of employment.

Also, just a heads up. Even if you have legal recourse to sue them for disposing of your property, they can also file a counter suit for storage of your property. Since most states have no legal caps on storage fees, they can name their price and claim the costs of disposing of your property, hiring someone to watch your property, etc.

First thing you want to do is check the law in respect to property and abandonment and the agreement of employment and their personal items and keeping them.

Then even if you have a just reason to sue, you should consult an attorney and see what course your former employer may have in respect to disposal of your property and storage of it.

These things can get nasty.
