OREGON
My former roommate moved out last December and was acting as our landlord, since her name was the only one on the lease. We found out last week that she hadn’t paid rent since May and owes the management company $6800+ (not counting the money she owes the three of us). We had an eviction notice on our door and ended up contacting the management company, who had no idea we were living here. They were super nice though and started a new lease with us, which kicked in today. We’re not being held accountable for her mistake since we all had proof we had paid rent to her.
She still has a crap load of stuff here in the condo and we want to know what our legal rights are with it? We have texted and called her several times in the past week giving her the opportunity to pick up her belongings. She has yet to reply. She’s read our texts though. We know this because we have iPhones and her phone is set to show when she’s read the messages. As of today, she has no relation to this condo. All of the bills are in our names now and the locks were changed as well.
We want her stuff out of here and will be moving it to the garage tomorrow. How long do we have to keep it before we can discard of it?
Additional Information:
She left two couches, a desk, dishes, two end tables and other misc household items.
