Location- Maine. Basically I signed a year lease in an apartment that ends this month. When I moved in he told me about a storage shed I could "Feel free to use" out behind the house. So I did. I stored studded winter tires, winter clothing, and other belongings that are worth around $1,000. Haven't been in the shed for about a month because I didn't need anything.
So I've been packing all my stuff to move into another apartment next week and I go to clean out my stuff from the shed. GONE. Everything. Shed has been sweeped clean, even.
My landlord has actively been trying to sell the building for 2 months now. Only thing I can think of is about 2 weeks ago a realtor was showing the property so he wanted everything clean.
Called my landlord tonight and asked if he cleaned out the shed. He states "Oh yeah I had *Handyman's name* clean it out a while ago, you guys really stored stuff in there? It leaks! I told the handyman he can keep anything he wants form the shed". He gives me the handymans number and no answer. Currently waiting for any call back from landlord or handyman, but super pissed off and shaking with anger. Don't have renters insurance either. Definitely will with the new place. Any options here ??
