828235 2009-11-10 03:10:00 AFAIK landlords ARE NOT ALLOWED to hold belonging..period!, So you can go with police to retrieve, however as said here already, $300 isnt much...the lad should be made to pay his way, if he doesn't, then you are setting a bad example....however it seems the horse has already bolted...LOL SolMiester (139)

If Myth's son is boarding with the uncle the landlord/tenant rules don't apply.

828239 2009-11-10 04:11:00 A point well made.

But as usual we have little to go on other than the original post which said rent.

We still don't know whether an agreement has been signed or whether a bond was paid in spite of me asking that earlier.

828240 2009-11-10 05:51:00 No bond paid, no agreement made
As said, rent was paid in full up to court date, noone expected he would be going inside. We all thought he would be bailed till sentencing

828241 2009-11-10 05:56:00 In that case, I would say the owner of the house is quite allowed to let the occupant know that they need to pay or their stuff will end up outside.

It's happened to me, and the cops said there was nothing they could do. One of the cops even went so far as to offer to pick it up and drop it off somewhere.
