In Edmonton, Alberta I have a garage rented out with a warehouseman's lease (basically a commercial lease not governed by RTA). We rented out the garage on a 6 month term for $225 per month and a $225 damage deposit. The tenant paid for the first month in cash and stored a 2000s Mustang (not sure if it works) and a Chevy with the dash pulled out. There are also wheels and rims for an Escalade.
The rent is now 7 days late and the tenant has most likely abandoned the vehicles. She has not responded to multiple phone calls, text messages, or Facebook messages. I went to provide her with final notice to remove her possessions yesterday and the home is for sale and property abandoned. So I am very likely dealing with abandoned goods.
Blank copy of Warehouseman's Lease used here.
Our agreement states she has 3 days to pick up the goods after final notice is provided for her to remove the items.
We have run the VIN numbers of the vehicles on the RCMP's website to check if stolen. At minimum the vehicles have not been reported stolen. I have heard it is very difficult to sell vehicles if you do not have a bill of sale - even to an auto wrecker.
My question to the community:
- what should I do about the vehicles in the garage?
- what should I do with the Escalade rims and tires in the garage?
Your expertise is greatly appreciated!
