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.

Yes, they vary by state. A good rule of thumb is never empty them anywhere except into a dump station or a sewer hookup. The fines for dumping raw sewage are very high.

Absolutely.  Case in point:  I evicted someone recently and, heartless as it may seem to be, it was raining on the day of the eviction, and I had the full force of the law on my side.  Please understand that I had given the defendant over 90 days, had taken him to court to prove my right to take possession of my property, and I followed due process right up to the last minute.\n\nTo be sure, there are "renters" rights that you'd be wise to read.  You can find all you need to know right on the internet.

If there was no written contract stating terms and conditions of the arrangement - you have no obligation on how long you have to keep his stuff.  However, before you toss them out, you probably should ("should" protecting you against the legal debate of he said / she said) give him written notice of removal with a reasonable deadline to protect yourself from any legal issues.  If you don't know how to reach him, post a notice in the local papers.  That way you have proof you made every effort.

You may wish to check with an attorney but for the most part the standard practice is this;\n\nSend her a registered letter. Inform her that if the property is not picked up in 30 days it is considered abandoned and under the law it will be disposed of. The property actually becomes yours to sell or toss out.\n\nAfter 30 days she s**t out of luck. Just be sure to send any correspondence registered receipt.\n\nYou do have to retain her stuff but after 30 days and the letter...ha!...no self respecting cop would pinch you.

Nothing. They hold it for 6 mo. After that they toss it out. Keep an eye out for anything strange,l. If they use your info for ANYTHING. Take them to court

Yes it's legal, especially if you haven't responded to your landlords attempts to contact you.  You could try and countersue for pain and suffering caused by humiliation but you'd almost certainly lose.

Yes.\n\nStealing garbage is a crime - so recycling would fall under that statute.

The dumpster at an apartment complex is not public property.  It is owned by the waste facility, or by the apartment management, or by a homeowners' association.

According to the law, it's usually called theft and yes, that's illegal.  Often accompanied with B&E (breaking and entering).

I think you are talking about adverse possession.\n\nIf no one discovers this, the laws are different in different states. Some states say that since you did not know it wasn't your property, you can be sued for encroachment. Others say that you have successfully occupied the property long enough that it is now yours.

IN property law often times ACTUALLY Holding on to an object or occupying some land is often decisive.\n\nFor example: if you are walking down a street and someone snatches your purse and is then caught, YOU do not have to prove that the purse is ACTUALLY yours, that you did not steal it yesterday etc etc, before the person is convicted as a thief. All you have to show to convict that person of theft is that you were just holding on to a purse before he snatched it. \n\nSimilar reasoning dictates that if your purse is stolen and is not found within 5 years(statute of limitations) the thief basically now owns the purse, because there is no way you can prosecute him(so the thief acquired an object by actual possession although he never legally acquired it).\n\nThis doctrine also often applies to real property. If you actually LIVE on the land(but don't have a legal title, basically you are squatting) you can kick off a new trespasser without showing title. And if you live on the land long enough(usually 10 years) You will get a Title to it, and the person who had it before but did not use the land looses it(This is known as adverse possession).\n\nSo basically often(90% of time) the entitlement to property will be useless or irrelevant while ACTUAL POSSESSION will control.

delete a person? \nAgainst the law surely?

I don't think it's theft or illegal unless you use the information for personal gain without the person who's identity it belongs consent.

It depends on if you took responsibility for their items.  If you borrowed it and then it was stolen then you are absolutely responsible.  If you offered to hold onto the item for them then you are responsible.  If they just put it in your car and expected that you would take care of it then you are not responsible.  I would recommend not allowing anything to be left in your car.  If someone does then get rid of it!  That will solve the problem real quick.

Landlord / tenant laws vary greatly from state to state, and even from city to city.  In most places the deal is that the landlord can't engage in "self-help," that is, locking you out of your residence or throwing your things out on the street, without a court order. Some crazy states, like Texas, allow a landlord to take out a "landlord's lien," on your personal property, which may allow them to take possession of your stuff as security for failure to pay rent.\n\nHere's a link to an article about freezeouts on findlaw.com, a reputable source that's used by attorneys and average citizens alike:\nhttp://realestate.findlaw.com/landlord/landlord-eviction/tenant-eviction-illegal-self-help.html\n\nHere's another website based on Ohio law.  This sounds similar to the processes in many states, but may or may not be the same as your state:\nhttp://www.ohiolandlordtenant.com/faq2.html

If you find her illegally dumping call the police and they will fine her, since she was not dumping her trash on your property you do not have standing for a civil case
