abandoned property laws in NY??

[Shady]

@toomanycamaros

I own a duplex and one tennant was an elderly women who had to be placed in a nursing home. She went into the nursing home 9-30-13 and her son says she can’t pay her portion of the rent for october (she recieved section 8 subsidy). He is also giving me a song and dance about being a disabled veteran and not being able to remove her belongs in any kind of a timely manner so that I can clean and show the unit to try and get it rented for next month (November). I know there are a few other landlords on here and I’m wondering if you guys have had to deal with this before (Jammer???). I’m going to contact my lawyer when their office opens this AM, but I would think this would fall under the perview of abandoned property since she has moved to another residence. Anybody have experience here?

Well first off while I don’t own property maybe I just don’t have the right mentality but if you know she had to move to a nursing home I would not be a dick and just cast her shit out.

Throw it into storage, give the son another month to come grab and and let him know he has to flip the bill. If he does not then sell what you can and dump the rest.
