book 'em!

I apologize if I'm not in the right forum, but . .

I have a friend who wants me to remove about 50 boxes of books from his property (to a local dump) that belong to a guest that is living in his house on his property.

Can I get into legal trouble for removing the boxes against the will of the person (guest) who owns the books?

 

[cbg]

Yes, and so can your friend.

 

[the bookwerm]

thank you cbg!

So, how does he get rid of the books?

 

[the bookwerm]

. . don't know if this is relevant but .

The "guest" is a visitor who is not under any lease or paying any kind of rent or anything, but after being invited to temporarily stay between moves, took the liberty of bringing her her entire inventory to his house without asking permission.

Inviting the guest likely implied permission to bring belongings.

So, how does he get rid of the books?

Evict the guest. If the guest leaves the books behind there may be a remedy in Connecticut's landlord tenant law.

Yes, the guest may have acquired tenant's rights.

More information is needed about the arrangement. When did it start? What was the agreement? What is the relationship between the owner and the guest. Does the guest contribute money or labor to the owner in lieu of rent? When is the guest planning to move?

I can't say for sure, but I used my magical admin/moderator skills to determine the poster appears to be posting from the tax addicted, wealth confiscating state famous for nutmeg, CT.


Why is Connecticut Called the "Nutmeg State"?

Well, excuuuuuuuuuse me!

 

[adjusterjack]

I meant no offense. I was being facetious. Weren't you?

Of course!

 

[adjusterjack]

I knew that.

Just needed a little repartee.

Merry Christmas, guys!

To the OP: That does not give the owner the legal right to dispose of her property. He can tell her to move out; he can take legal steps to evict her. But he cannot just unilaterally throw away her property.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you all.
