Late Payment Property Removal

Ask Your Question For Free

Summary

Landlords in California can accept late payments for abandoned property removal instead of auctioning. They have 15 days after the 14-day right to reclaim period ends to auction the property if it remains unclaimed. If the 15 days expire, they can still proceed with the auction without restarting the process. Documenting all actions is crucial for legal compliance.

is there a timeframe that I must give the abandoned property to a public auction after the expiration of the right to reclaim personal property time frame
In California, you have 15 days after the notice period ends to auction the property if the value is over $*. However, you can also choose to accept late payment and removal. Be sure to document all actions.

after the 15 days would I have to start the whole process of abandoned property again if the guy hasn’t paid and I haven’t gone to auction
In California, if the property remains unclaimed after the *-day period, you wouldn't have to start the process over. Instead, you can proceed with the public auction as initially planned.
that’s 15 days after the 14 day right to reclaim property ends 15 days to auction the property, right
Yes, you are correct. In California, the law allows you 15 days after the *-day right to reclaim period ends to auction off the property, if it remains unclaimed.
if those 15 days expire does that mean that I have to start the whole abandonment process over again?
No, if the 15 days expire, you don't need to start the entire process over. You can proceed with the auction as per California law.
