Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Minnesota
My ex boyfriend left clothing at my house after a recent breakup. We haven't talked for almost a month- and I'd like to know if I can legally dispose of it? I'd like to throw it away or donate it, but do not want to be sued. The value would be somewhere around $200.

You should give him written notice of your intentions. Give him a reasonable time to pick them up (e.g. 30 days.). If he doesn't pick them up go ahead a dispose of them. Before you do you should probably itemize what you are getting rid of and even take pictures. You estimate the value as $200, but if he sues you in small claims court he is going to claim they were worth much more. Donating the clothes is a much better option.
