A friend asked me to store his possessions for a week, but he hasn&#39;t collected it in 3 months. Can I get rid of it?
<p>I'm in England. A so-called friend of mine left a lot of his possessions (clothes, books, homeware, keyboards, printers) at my place, saying he'd collect it with a week. It's now been three months, and he's no closer to taking it back.</p>

<p>Is it legal for me to donate it to charity? I've asked him time and time again (on Whatsapp/text) and he always replies with "OK I'll look into it" but never does anything. </p>

<p>So I would like to know if I can get rid of it without worrying about him suing me.</p>

<p>Inform him of what you intend to do and by what by what date.   Make sure that you can document that you did give him notice -- so not sure sure if Whatsapp/text would do -- I would use a registered letter, and a letter which is also sent in CC to your solicitor.</p>

<p>He can always sue you, but he does not stand to win if you can show that you have given him fair warning.</p>
