Is her stuff safe? (Foreclosure question)

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?

The biggest danger is that they will deem it abandoned and put it out in the street. She needs to be very diligent about contacted the people in control of the house to get her stuff. She's in for a real hassle. The bank doesn't covet her stuff.

Depends on the bank and/or banker you are dealing with. I would say as long as contact is made with the bank they would allow your s-i-l to get her stuff. Do this asap. Landlord will have to make the contact as I would doubt the bank would "talk" to your s-i-l unless landlord gives them permission. Twas this banker I would be happy to let her have her stuff, saves me the hassle of getting rid of it.

Christian Szell: Is it safe?... Is it safe?
Babe: You're talking to me?
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Is what safe?
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: I don't know what you mean. I can't tell you something's safe or not, unless I know specifically what you're talking about.
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Tell me what the "it" refers to.
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: Yes, it's safe, it's very safe, it's so safe you wouldn't believe it.
Christian Szell: Is it safe?
Babe: No. It's not safe, it's... very dangerous, be careful.
