Answer:
I’m assuming the court rules in your favor, so as long as there are no pending motions or appeals contemplated, nothing further typically is required. To dispose of apparently abandoned property without risking liability for damages to the landlord, a landlord must follow the steps below. If the tenant left the unit because of a court-ordered eviction, the timing of the steps is slightly different. Please see:
