Q: Hi my question is how do I go about getting my personal belongings from an apartment that I was supposed to move into.
Signed a lease to move into an apartment but there was alot of problems with the place that needed fixing before we could move in but we had moved all of our belongings in cause the plan was to to be in there once everything was up to code
So out of no where the landlord decides she wants to sell the place. So a building inspector went n closed down the building and the landlord was supposed to contact us to make arrangements to get our stuff well she never did
And then she sold the building and told the new home owner she had evicted us..so these people think we have been evicted n aboneded are things..cuz it's been about 2 months since the building has been closed down..so I'm trying to get my things and the new landlord is giving us a hard time..plus he lives all the way in Florida and says hes not coming up here for this to give us our stuff
And now he's been texting asking for the lease and the lease is actually locked up in that apartment so I don't have a lease at the moment
