Landlord Question and Answer Forum

Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / Can I charge my Tenant for removal?
Hello, New Landlord here. I had to move out a lot of stuff from my unit into a storage unit that was left by a tenant who left in the middle of the month. It took me about 6 hours of moving. If he wants the stuff back (its in a storage unit) can i charge him $100 for my days worth of labor? I know I can charge him the storage fees for the storage unit but I want about $100 for having to basically move him into a storage unit. Thanks in advance! Evan

You can charge him but if he contests, be prepared to justify your amounts to a judge.

I also spent 2 days and paid to remove furniture and trash from my house. I do not have 'll receipts but can substantiate amount of effort in pictures. They keep staying it was left for charity I reminded them the lease stars they are to leave the home as the received it. Let see what they try next.
