Q: In New York, if a Marshall evicts you, what happens to the belongings
I have an eviction warrant and because of holidays marshal office said they will do eviction on Jan 2
A:
The landlord could have paid for a full eviction so a warehouse mover would be engaged to remove your possessions after the marshal prepares a written inventory. Or locked in the apartment if the landlord did not want to pay for removal.
I don't need to say that you could have avoided this since you knew it was coming either by moving out or by a Housing Court Order to Show Cause . An eviction with a tenant's property moved out to a warehouse or locked up is a terrible life altering event. New York State changes to the eviction process made eviction easy to avoid but it cannot stop all.
