I leased a small office to an individual to run a cell phone shop. They kept irregular hours and were not ther much. In January they stopped comming. The rent was paid till Feb 1st at that time I began trying to contact the person. I have called every number and written to every address I have on this person. He called me in March and said he was out of state and would send someone by to pay the rent I told him that none of his employees had been there since January and I was going to change the lock to secure the door since he had no idea his employees He has not send someone with the rent. I sent certified letter to his last known address and it was not accepted. Last week a woman who worked for him called and stated that the items in the store were hers and demanded I give them to her. I explained that she was not on the list and I could not give her anything and at any rate nothing would be released until the rent was paid. Since has obviously abandoned the shop do I have to sue for eviction or can I just remove the items and re rent the shop. The items are not worth as much as the rent he owes.
