Landlord gives single mothers stuff away while she is locked away in the pen

[anonymousyamParticipant 4605]

Faith Melley a single mother living in the state of Florida is now crying and playing the victim card after she got arrested for multiple unpaid traffic violations and her kids got taken away from her in late June getting out a month latter to discover the landlord gave all her s~~~ away on the internet placing an ad on craigslist while she was in the pen.

Photos in the article show a bunch of happy people getting her free s~~~ including a free computer monitor, a high chair, a free fence and more stuff that other people will put to good use. And a image that only those with a strong stomach should look at of her appearing to be like her simian ancestors.

Now being serious this bitch deserves every bit she gets of this. People should not go and white knight for a bitch who not only got a bunch of unpaid tickets for multiple traffic offenses. Not only as well getting arrested 3 times in the span of one month and getting arrested again in late June. But she managed to drive the father of the biological kids away with a domestic violence order against him (which i don’t blame the guy simply due to her face assuming its actually real).

At the very least i hope that the kids find a better home to live in or the biological father proves his innocence some way and gets to raise his own kids while she is in prison. The link for it is below

I know some landlord laws. This may be illegal. The landlord, with the magistrate of the county, and place all items belonging to a tenant out of the building and onto the street. But, the landlord cannot just sell those items. Also, the tenant has to be informed of this beforehand, to make arrangements for someone to pick up the items.

Yup. If she was 18 years old and childless I might put it down to teenage stupidity, but as a parent your priority should always be the kids. Doing whatever’s best for them and not yourself. She should’ve known that not paying those tickets would jeopardise her living situation, which would in turn adversely affect the kids. And now it has. They have to suffer the shame of having a jailbird for a mum, and look towards a future that’s very uncertain. If she was any kind of mother, she would’ve done everything in her power to make sure that this would never happen.

Why do people always think that they can beat the system? Why do they assume that these things won’t happen to them? I had a friend whose dad spent nine months under house arrest because there were some taxes that he hadn’t paid, and when they tried to take him up on this, he just retaliated by taking them to court. Did he really think that he’d win? Remember the old adhege: there’s two things that you can never avoid – death and taxes.

I seriously think that some people just shouldn’t be allowed to have children.

It appears he just gave them away to anyone who showed up. If he sold anything she might have a case on her hands but aside from that idk.

It really falls under a odd spot legally of course the landlord can throw her s~~~ out but she might try to make a case based off of the ad giving her stuff to anyone who could walk to the house or if he sold anything.

I’d like to say I don’t wish bad things on other people, but I will say I don’t feel bad for her. Women have bad s~~~ happen to them and the whole world is supposed to feel bad, but not when it happens to men. I don’t care. Deal with it, lady. Just like all the men have.

Disposition of Tenants’ Personal Property – Florida

Section 83.67, Florida Statutes, states that “no landlord [may] remove the tenant’s personal property from the dwelling unit unless said action is taken after surrender, abandonment1, or a lawful eviction.” From time to time, a landlord may discover that a tenant has left personal property in an apartment or rental home that has been vacated due to surrender, abandonment, or eviction. How such property is handled may depend on how the rental unit became empty and also whether the tenant’s lease contains the notification language set forth in Section 83.67.

First, Chapter 715 of the Florida Statutes, in Sections 715.10 through 715.111, sets forth a complete legal procedure for storing the property, notifying the tenant of the fact that property has been left behind, assessing costs of storage, selling the property if it is not claimed by the tenant, and applying the proceeds from such sale. Those Sections generally must be used by a landlord to dispose of personal property that remains in a rental unit after a tenancy has terminated or expired, or if the rental unit has been vacated by the tenant due to an eviction, surrender, abandonment, or otherwise. A landlord who violates the provisions of Chapter 715 may be held liable to the tenant for actual and consequential damages or 3 months’ rent, whichever is greater, as well as the tenant’s attorney’s fees and court costs. A complete copy of the above statutes is included with this chapter, as well as some notification forms for use by landlords. , or a lawful eviction.” From time to time, a landlord may discover that a tenant has left personal property in an apartment or rental home that has been vacated due to surrender, abandonment, or eviction. How such property is handled may depend on how the rental unit became empty and also whether the tenant’s lease contains the notification language set forth in Section 83.67.

“Lost property” in the possession of a landlord is not covered by Chapter 715; instead, such property should be turned over to a local law enforcement agency. If for some reason the local agency refuses to take possession of the lost property, a landlord may dispose of the property pursuant to Sections 715.10-715.111.

There are two general exceptions to the requirement that a landlord dispose of abandoned property in accordance with Chapter 715. The first exception is found in Section 83.67, Florida Statutes. Subsection (3) of that statute states that if a landlord comes into possession of a former tenant’s personal property after surrender, abandonment, or a lawful eviction, “the landlord is not required to comply with [Section] 715.104 and is not liable or responsible for storage or disposition of the tenant’s personal property” if the following statement is printed in or clearly stamped on the tenant’s lease or an addendum thereto:

BY SIGNING THIS RENTAL AGREEMENT, THE TENANT AGREES THAT UPON SURRENDER, ABANDONMENT, OR RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE DWELLING UNIT DUE TO THE DEATH OF THE LAST REMAINING TENANT, AS PROVIDED BY CHAPTER 83, FLORIDA STATUTES, THE LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR STORAGE OR DISPOSITION OF THE TENANT’S PERSONAL PROPERTY.

Although Section 83.67(3) clearly states that a landlord shall not be liable for a tenant’s abandoned property if that section is complied with, it does not state what a landlord may do with such property. However, just because a landlord is not liable for the storage or disposition of a tenant’s property does not mean that the property is “up for grabs.” The property still belongs to the tenant. Should the landlord be in compliance with Section 83.67(3) and not want to store a tenant’s abandoned property, the guidelines set forth in the second general exception to Chapter 715, discussed below, may be followed.

The second general exception to the requirement that a landlord dispose of abandoned property in accordance with Chapter 715 is found in Section 83.62, Florida Statutes. Subsection (2) states, “[a]t the time the sheriff executes the writ of possession or at any time thereafter, the landlord or the landlord’s agent may remove any personal property found on the premises to or near the property line [and neither] the sheriff nor the landlord or the landlord’s agent shall be liable to the tenant or any other party for the loss, destruction, or damage to the property after it has been removed.” Because the landlord has the right to remove the tenant’s personal to the property line at any time after the sheriff has executed the writ of possession, the landlord may undertake such task at his or her convenience. It is strongly suggested, however, that if the tenant inquires as to when the landlord intends to remove the tenant’s belongings to the property line, that the landlord accurately provide the tenant with that information so that the tenant may be present at the property line to regain possession of his or her property. Remember, the property still belongs to the tenant. However, if the tenant is going to take the initiative to marshal the manpower and the trucks or other vehicles necessary to pick up all of his or her belongings, the landlord may want to consider allowing the tenant back into the rental unit for the sole purpose of removing his or her possessions. This will save the landlord the labor of having to move the belongings to the property line, and allowing the tenant back in to the rental unit does not reestablish any rights of possession on behalf of the tenant.

Of course, the landlord may always follow the procedures set forth in Chapter 715 to dispose of a tenant’s abandoned property if the landlord chooses to do so regardless of the other options available. The following outlines the steps a landlord must follow under Chapter 715.

Pursuant to section 715.104, Florida Statutes, you must notify the former tenant in writing that you are in possession of the tenant’s property. If you reasonably believe that the property actually belongs to someone other than the former tenant, written notice must be given to that person instead.

The written notice must describe the all of the property in a manner reasonably adequate to permit the owner of the property to identify it. If a tenant leaves behind a locked trunk or box that cannot be easily opened, you are only required to describe the trunk or box and not the contents.

The written notice must also (1) advise the former tenant that reasonable costs of storage may be charged before the property is returned, (2) where the property may be claimed, and (3) the date by which the tenant may claim the property (the date cannot be fewer than 10 days after the notice is personally delivered or, if mailed, not fewer than 15 days after the notice is deposited in the mail)

The notice must be either personally delivered to the former tenant or sent by first-class mail to the former tenant’s last known address. The landlord must send a notice to any other address where the landlord may reasonably expect the former to receive the notice. The notice should read as follows:

Notice of Right to Reclaim Abandoned Property

To: [Name of former tenant]
[Address of former tenant]

When you vacated the premises at [address of premises, including apartment number], the following personal property remained:

[INSERT DESCRIPTION OF PERSONAL PROPERTY HERE]

You may claim this property at [address where property may be claimed]. Unless you pay the reasonable costs of storage and advertising, if any, for all the above-described property and take possession of the property that you claim not later than [insert date not fewer than 10 days after notice is personally delivered or, if mailed, not fewer than 15 days after notice is deposited in the mail] this property may be disposed of pursuant to section 715.109, Florida Statutes.

[INSERT HERE ONLY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING TWO STATEMENTS HERE:]

“If you fail to reclaim the property, it will be sold at a public sale after notice of the sale has been given by publication. You have the right to bid on the property at this sale. After the property is sold and the costs of storage, advertising, and sale are deducted, the remaining money will be paid over to the county. You may claim the remaining money at any time within 1 year after the county receives the money.”

“Because this property is believed to be worth less than $500, it may be kept, sold, or destroyed without further notice if you fail to reclaim it within the time indicated above.”
Date: ______________
[Signature of landlord]
[Type or print name of landlord]

As a property manager I can tell you the following most likely happened. The landlord provided in his lease or rental agreement the bolded above provision regarding abandonment of property and had her initial on the side that she understood that the provision was there and agreed to it. Second Notice of Right to Reclaim Abandoned Property was either served to her or sent by registered mail so that she had ample time to claim her property prior to eviction. Since she was still in jail and probably had no one to help her out she left her property in the house during that time frame. So long as notice is given to her it is not the landlords responsibility as to why she can’t claim her items even though it may look shady, he is not legally bound to wait for her to get out of jail.

By posting on craigslist her items were available for free prior to the eviction he gave public notice stating that these items would be available on a certain date. Now although this could be viewed as public notice courts may have an issue with it if he didn’t post it in local paper for example.

When the sheriff has executed the writ of possession and she didn’t show up for her belongings the landlord had people come by and remove her belongings from the property line because she abandoned her stuff and was not there to take possession of her belongings. At this point it doesn’t matter what happens to her stuff because she initially agreed in the rental agreement that if she doesn’t come pick her stuff up he is not liable for what happens to it once the eviction is legally binding and the writ of possession was served by the sheriff. I am not a lawyer and do not live in Florida but this would be my understanding based on personal experience dealing with these types of laws as to what occurred.

She could’ve had a yard sale to pay for those traffic tickets.

Shoe on the other foot:
Had it been any of us here who ended up in prison, we’d remember and think,
“Oh s~~~! My s~~~, Better have someone go by my place and grab the expensive stuff at least.”

But, if the landlord took any money for those items then the landlord is in some serious legal trouble.

If the paperwork is properly done, with the proper advanced notice, and the proper officials overseeing the matter, a landlord and the landlord’s employees can move a tenant’s property off of the landlord’s property. But, the landlord has to do it this way and the landlord cannot make any money from the tenant’s property.
