I ask again, have you been a landlord? Have you ever been on either side of the eviction process in any state?

Yes there is a process. After 18 days, what do you think the landlord does with the property? Do you think they keep it forever?

The eviction process in some states and getting rid of the property have separate timelines. But after that holding period, you are still allowed to remove the property as you see fit.

As far as the article is concerned, the landlord would just have to wait 18 days before calling the company.

Even your own citation says “you are at liberty to dispose of it whichever way you please.” Just as I said.

There are plenty of Byzantine steps to the eviction process. But at the end of the day, someone from the sheriff’s department removes the person and ultimately you are responsible for disposing of the property. Whether that happens the same day is immaterial.

This is a typical debating "technique": bully the other party with questions like "Have you ever lived in country X? No? Then you have no right to question anything I say about the politics or history of country X."

The point is, your initial message 100 percent, straight up said the complete opposite of what you're saying now: that as a landlord you can just "throw their stuff out on the curb" with no process whatsoever.

Thank you for explicitly backpedaling, at least.

I’m not explicitly backpedaling on anything. I argued against the narrative that

A) it’s dangerous to hire a third party inverted movers because their might be an interaction between the evicted tenant and the crew moving things out. The police are always involved during a legal eviction when you move the tenant out.

B) inverted movers may destroy the property. Secure “storage” in states where the two don’t happen the same day - moving the tenant out and moving their stuff could just be leave it in the house and if they don’t come for it dispose of it however you want - including using inverted movers.

Have you ever lived in country X? No? Then you have no right to question anything I say about the politics or history of country X."

You are allowed to have your own opinions but not your own facts. One of us have actually gone through the legal eviction process. One of us haven’t. I think I have more credibility.
