Part 4 of an sht episode folks, so I need to gather your viewpoints:
Tenant left, went into liquidation, left furniture and bits and pieces of crap everywhere.
Lawyered up, found most of he furniture to belong to company A with 2 other companies found on asset register to have claims over cement mix equipment and another on computer goods/software.
Here is the problem - reentered premise which was left in a mess, left it there now for about 1 month whilst stuff was going on with lawyers, didn't want to touch anything yet in case i get blamed/sued etc.
Agent took pictures when we re-entered and locks changed about 3 weeks ago...but I don't seem to recall seeing any computer goods or cement mixing equipment - they may have been taken by ex tenant or stolen by someone else.
What are the chances of the leasing company pointing finger at me for losing his machinery/goods? How do I prevent this? I'm stuck between a tenant probably gone belly up and angry creditors/lenders.
Losing heaps of $$$ in lost rent and lawyers but such is life I need to clean off this mess and move on!!
Company A has expressed they would like all of the furniture back BUT cannot prove interest on assets (or lack of evidence as my lawyer puts it). Other 2 companies have not heard back and lawyer reckons will not claim anything back and write it off.
Thanks.
