Q: My non rent paying grandson has been gone for 2 months but has a deadbolt lock on his door and refuses to get his things
He is 36 and has never offered to help out with anything
A: Rent a storage unit. Pay one month's rent. Remove the deadbolt. Move his stuff into the storage unit. Tell him where it is and that you have paid one month's rent. He is free to continue to store it there if he pays the monthly rent, or he can retrieve his stuff and move it somewhere else, but you will not pay a second month's rent for the storage unit. If he doesn't get his stuff and rent is not paid, the storage company will auction his stuff off to pay the past due rent.
