Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Ohio

Property storage

I have given an individual 30 days notification (via email) to remove her possessions that have been stored in my backyard storage shed for 1-year now. She acknowledged & agreed to ''make arrangements''. My question is, if she doesn't retreive her property at the end of 30 day, what is my next course of action? We have no binding contract.

Re: Property storage

If you have the space.... just send her a letter and indicate that you intend to charge them XXX amount of dollars storage. Then, after an amount of time, file suit to receive money for your storage costs. I can certainly help you out with the letter should you request.

Re: Property storage

Based on the information provided, you may have an action for forcible entry and detainer (FE&D), otherwise known as an eviction. There are many things that can have an effect on the situation such as your relationship to the individual, the substance of your communications with the individual, and even the contents of the storage shed.

With an FE&D, upon following the required procedure, you can get a court order which would allow you to remove the contents of the storage shed. This process is probably preferable to simply taking everything out of the shed and placing it on the curb at the end of the 30 days.

If you have further questions or would like to schedule a free consultation to discuss your situation, feel free to contact me.
