Question Details: If your adult child (24) who did not pay any rent, is kicked out of your home, and has not retrieved his belongings after 2 months despite dozens of requests to remove his property, is it considered abandoned? If so, what can I do with all of those things?
To be safe, you can follow the procedure that is used in the regular landlord-tenant eviction process. I am not a Massachusetts attorney, but the gist of it, as far as the person's belongs are concerned, is that you give 48 hours' written notice of the name, address and telephone number of the warehouse where the property will be stored. After six months, the warehouse can sell the property at auction to pay the storage costs.
For more information, and advice tailored to your situation, you should talk to a local attorney. One place you can find the lawyer for this is our website, http://attorneypages.com
