I need to evict and I have avoided it long enough. I have put this off because it is hard and I don't really know what to do!! I have asked questions, but even when given answers, I don't completely understand. Maybe someone might have the patience to help here.
I am looking at step 1 of the "step-by step eviction procedures"' on page 255 of the Gold Book and step one has got me. It states "Give the required notice." Here is my situation.
1) I have the truck of a tenet who died (The only reason I know is that I saw the obit. online). I had a rental agreement for a storage unit and did a forclosure for it. I mailed the notice of foreclosure to the only address I had and it was returned to me. The former owner of my facility did not get him to sign a lease for the truck. I have been told I have to evict. I already know I can not send him/ his estate anything because it didn't work the first time.
2) There is a lot of great stuff in an "empty" unit. I confirmed with the past tenet and they definitely moved completely out. I was just checking that it was properly swept out and that is when I saw all the good stuff. No lock, but very organized stuff. I can't send them notice because I don't know who it is.
3) There is a lock on an empty unit. I didn't cut it yet, but like in story #2, I don't know who owns the lock or the stuff in it.
SO, the previous owner has some cool magnetic eviction signs. I put them up on the 2 units and on the truck and made a video stating the day and time. I have no idea if this helps.
What should I do next?
