Some of my friends here at mylot have suggested this. My roomate moved out on Dec 6. But he left an incredible amount of stuff here. To give you an idea it took my hubby 2 hours a day or so ago to move just some of it to our garage. It has been a bit inconvenient. Would you ask for money to store his stuff in your house for an undetermined amount of time? Or tell him to get his butt over here and get a storafe locker?

I would tell them to get their stuff. I think it'd be rude to just leave a bunch of things there and not take them because of the inconvenience it would be for whoever's house I moved out of. Hopefully your exroommate will come back for their stuff. Good luck

Personally, I'd tell him he has until a particular day to come get the stuff, or you're getting rid of it all. Granted that's even more of an inconvenience on you, but perhaps you can set it to the curb on trash day and let the garbage men take it, or put it on the lawn with a free sign on it. Post it on Freecycle.org.

If it were me, I would wait a few weeks and then go visit the old roommate and drop off some of his stuff while you are there.

With a new baby on the way, that would just be a bigger hardship on my hubby.

I would tell him to remove his things and get a storage locker, and that if it isn't taken care of in a length of time determined by your husband and yourself, that you will need to start charging him because it isn't your responsibility to house his belongings. Give him the option of paying you or paying the storage, but even if he choses to leave his things with you it also should only be for a predetermined length of time.

yea he needs to get his stuff out.that is a very rude thing to do to any one .your husband really needs to get tough about this .your husband should not have been the one to have to move this stuff out.

I would send him a registered letter informing him of the day I was going to post his stuff on eBay. If he didn't come get his junk by the date, then he could bid on it like everyone else.

The registered letter would be so he couldn't say you didn't ask him to get his stuff. He isn't living there anymore and you are under no obligation to keep his stuff.

ask him to clear out his things and not to take you all for granted.if he doesnt comply,charging a fee would be a good idea.

Well, it all depends on how much room I had at my house. If I felt there was enough room to store it, I would tell the guy that I would be charging him until he got a storage space (I still wouldn't store it indefinitely, even with pay). But if we were cramped I would tell him he had a week to get it, or he could find it at the local dump.

Seeing how much of a jerk he has been about getting out when you told him back in what, June or July that he needed to be out by October and he did not leave till December 6th, I would not be quite so nice about it. I would tell him in writing that he had until a certain day to have his stuff out. After that date he will have to pay so much per day that it is there. (I of course would make it a crazy high amount in order to encourage him to get it out sooner rather than later.) Allow him to do that for a limited amount of time. After the specified amount of time I would tell him (again in the same letter) that you will be legally allowed to dispose of his stuff however you see fit be it selling it on eBay or Craigslist or putting it out on the curb for trash day. Above all I would make sure he knows you really mean it. I would also suggest getting the letter notarized along with a copy of the letter.

I would call him up and tell him he can come get his stuff asap otherwise he will be charged for storage. Especiall since your sister is coming to help you out you need the room and I think it was very rude and ignorant of him to leave his stuff there knowing full well that you are having babies soon and extra people to help with them.
