Person is not on lease, did not sign the lease and left items in garage bay of lease holder. lease holder has moved away and taken her property. She has confirmed that she has no more property in the garage bay. What can I do to regain the garage back for re-lease to someone else. What do I have to do with his property as he has no contract with me? I have looked at Section 451 and there is no vehicle, only tools and other items. after 7 days I changed the garage lock and this is considered a self-service storage garage bay.

So I have to add that both were never a tenant as living in any apartment or other on or in the property. They, and I mean She, only rented the garage bay from me.

A: He may not have a lease but he did live there and was most likely considered a tenant, read the statute again, I believe you have to store his things for at least 28 days, better to be safe than sorry. You should also try and contact him through any means available to you, try facebook, phone numbers, email addresses or whatever you have, to make contact with him and let him know his thing are going to be relocated or thrown out. Protect yourself from any litigation. Good luck.
