Re: rental
Assuming you have completed a lawful eviction proceeding through the court, you should consult with the sheriff's department about removal of the tenant and his possessions. You should be ready to change the locks on the premises under the supervision of the law enforcement officials. Generally, when a tenant remains after a lawful eviction it is trespass.
