Your Rights to Personal Property Left Behind After Eviction

A Note About Your Personal Property:

Whether you have been locked out by a sheriff or you decide to voluntarily leave, your landlord must take care of your personal property for 7 days after you’ve left. Your landlord must allow you to get your personal property back during this 7 day period. See our page on your rights to personal property left behind and what to do if you think it was wrongfully seized.
