Protecting Personal Property During Eviction

[mitousmom]

What is the name of your state? Tennessee

I'm in the process of evicting a tenant (relative) who moved into my deceased mother's fully furnished house in Tennessee. The tenant will not grant me access to the house. The Court has instructed the tenant not to remove anything from the house during the legal proceedings. What can I do, or ask the court to do, to ensure that my mother's furnishings and personal property are not removed when the tenant is evicted and his stuff is removed from the house?

Thanks

Do you have a written lease? If not search the Landlord/Tenant law in your state for your rights to show the home to prospective rentors before he is evicted.

Bring camera and take pictures.

Is requesting that a police officer be present during the move to insure that the (former) tenant takes only their belongings feasible?
