Make sure the electric and gas are not connected.  Someone had a good idea about recycling; doors, windows, trim. etc.

As long as you can demonstrate that you provided reasonable notice to the individual to remove the items from the place you own, then you can certainly discard unwanted items.\n\nThe link below shows the required steps for a landlord to be able to claim and dispose of property.  Most states will have similar requirements.

Check with City Hall, or The local appraisal district. they should be able to give you some information that may be helpful.

call the county courthouse in which the house is in and talk to civil department to see there is a foreclosure case... also it would be listed in the newspaper

you should have the house inspected and appraised...make sure you're getting what you pay for...i'd recommend going thru a realtor though. oh, and you need a good title lawyer...gotta make sure the current owner has a clear title.

The person who ownes the property is responsible.  Keep following up and ask your insurance company if they can intervein.  The home ownership should be public record, so check with your county or city for the records.   You should send REGISTERED mail to the owner explaining the situation and get a few repair estimates to send along.  (make copies).  Take em to small claims court if no reply.  Make sure you have plenty of pictures.  You may also want to report the situation to the city administrator indicating it's a hazard to people as well as vehicles.  What if kids were playing around there and got cut!\nGood luck to you.

Do you mean forclosure?\n\nTry the HUD website, or do a search on forclosures.  Banks also have lists on their forclosed homes but they aren't always on a handy list.

It depends on who rents your home.  If all goes well you will come back and everything will be the same as you left it.  You could also come back to find everything that isn't nailed down has been sold, heck even some items that were nailed or bolted down could be sold.  There are a lot of horror stories about renting out houses, you may want to think twice about it.

you might be able to look it up online at the local county clerks office.  I was able to look up and actually download copies of my landlords mortgage and the deed to the apartment.

Check with your city's housing department or city hall.  You should be able to get a copy of your house's layout or plans.  Something of that nature.

If you can afford to get the repairs done, do it and let things go. The time, worry and effort involved in getting anything back at all will probably not be worth it.\n\nTake the money, sign what they ask for and include a clause that they also consider the matter closed and they will take no further action etc..\n\nConcentrate your efforts on reletting the property and keeping it let. Learn a lesson and move on.

Ask any realtor.  This information is readily available to them.  The title or deed for the house lists all of the previous owners, what improvements were made (such as when structures on the land were built), and dated records of how much it was sold for.  I believe there is a way to obtain this information from your county's courthouse as well.

If you intend to sell it, I would get the rezone done yourself and reap the benefits.  A developer is going to say that there is risk with any rezone request, it may or may not go through, blah, blah, so I'm not going to pay top dollar for your property.  You are in a much better negotiating position if you already have the rezone done.  \n\nHowever, be aware that single family homes are non-conforming uses in many commercial zones.  Some cities and counties DO NOT have rebuild allowances for non-conforming uses if your house is destroyed, damaged, or rendered unihabitable.  So, if you rezone your property and then your house burns down, you won't be able to get a permit to build another house since single family residences aren't an allowed use on commercially zoned property.  If your community is like that, you won't be able to get conventional financing for it ever again.  You can get financing, it will just cost you.  If it were me, I would be very sure that I am going to sell before I got that rezone done.

i am in AZ and local law and custom will prevail.  what you have is adverse possession.  these things are controlled by time frames such as to close the Ingres/egress off it needs to be open and notorious and done like for 24 hours every 7 years.  there should be a time frame in the 7 to 10 year range that they would have had to close off physical access.  physical access is different then legal access.  most areas require physical access to all lots.  your best bet is to contact first a local real estate broker who specializes in land not in houses, it will be under commercial real estate in the phone book. he can answer most questions. but you will be in court to get it done, and the real estate guy will know the right lawyer.  this is a highly technical area of law make sure you get someone who does this for a living, a divorce lawyer will not be much good

The county recorders office will likely have this on file. Otherwise, you can check the last MLS listing for the property address.
