For anyone following my fun of late, my (ex) tenants are yet to contact the PM to obtain access to the property for their possessions, a week after the sheriff visit. The house is still completely furnished, including kids' toys and all of the family's clothes. I'm hoping they are just using my property for storage until they find somewhere else to live and we get a call soon for everything to go.
I've read the information on the Fair Trading website, but it's a little vague. It states that an owner must keep the tenant's possessions for at least 14 days. So I don't know when I can dispose of them, based on the "at least" part.
Has anyone been in this position before, or is a PM well versed on this? I'm wondering whether I should just hire a removalist to pack and get everything out to a storage shed asap so I can get in there and prepare the place for relisting or if I wait 14 days and then I can dispose?
