A: You did not know what you were doing when you sold the home. The owner probably claims the storage building is a Fixture, and may be correct depending on how you (or him) affixed it to the lot. It may be worth your while to file an Action To Recover Personal Property in General Sessions Court. But be prepared to prove it is yours and it is just sitting on the lot, not tied down.
