Legal Question in Family Law in Pennsylvania

How is this a divorce & child custody question?

Generally, I would write your roommate a letter and send it to him via UPS or FedEx so he cannot refuse it.

In the letter, tell him you are not a storage facility and give him 10 days to contact you to make arrangements for the removal of his property. Tell him that if he fails to contact you then you are going to dispose of his stuff and will begin charging him storage fees of so much per day (keep it reasonable) for each day of storage after the 10 day period until you dispopse of it. Keep a copy of your letter. That's what a storage place would do if he did not pay and that is what you need to do.

If he contacts you, put all his stuff in an area and left him come and get it. If he does not contact you, then you need to take pictures of ALL of his junk and list each and every item and its approximate value. I don't know what its worth, but you will have to figure it out. Used stuff is worth less than new. Then dispose of it - give it away or sell it (assuming it does not have a title like a car or motor bike - that is separate). Keep records of what you received for each item. If its a vehicle, find out the procedure for having abandoned vehicles removed. In this way, you will protect yourself from any possible claim by him for conversion. If he tries to argue that he had valuable items, you will have records to prove that the items were of lesser value. And you will have some storage charges to boot and any value of the items will be reduced by the storage. Hopefully, this will cancel out.

Good luck.
