Q: My sister in law left boxes and personal property at my home when can I grow it away
A:
It is hard to say based upon the limited information you have given. If you can load the items up and take them to her house and drop them off in a covered place (telling her first you are doing this - this would be best. If not, If you can contact your sister and law and give her a date by which she needs to remove or you will dispose of the property that would be better than simply tossing it out. Call her, text her and email her and write her confirming the phone call. "Dear________, as we discussed on (date), you need to come get your property you left at my house. As I told you, unless you get it by (date) I will set the items by the street or otherwise dispose of it."
Set the date at least 30 days out. and confirm again at 20 days before and 10 days before. And call her, text her and email her the day you are doing. Keep up with your notices.
I can't promise you won't get sued. And I really don't have enough facts to say this is the best, legal or right way- the above just seems to make common sense based upon the limited facts given. Anybody can be sued for anything. And again- this may change based upon more facts. Also this is listed under "landlord - tenant." But I don't know if that is really the case since this is your sister in law.
