Is her stuff safe? (Foreclosure question)
Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 2:18 pm
You all remember my sister-in-law, right? The one who is so antisocial she actually got herself kicked out of a cult?
She is renting a room in a house in our neighboorhood. Her landlord recently renevated another house in the neighborhood, and informed her that she had to move to the new house because the landlord is closing down the old house.
She has moved some of her stuff out into the new house: bed, essentials, etc.--but still has a lot of stuff in the old house that she was supposed to get out of there by Sunday. Today, when she went to the old house, she found that the locks had been changed and a sign said a bank was now the owner. She called her landlord, who said she (the landlord) would call the bank and find a way to let her (my sister-in-law) get inside to get the rest of her stuff out.
My question: Is her stuff safe? Could the bank claim it as their own? Could they move her stuff away without her say? And even if they could, would they?
