What happened

The Tenant filed an application claiming the Landlord did not provide the mandatory 72-hour window to retrieve personal property after a Sheriff-enforced eviction on June 20, 2025. The Tenant admitted to attempting negotiations to maintain the tenancy during the weekend following the eviction rather than arranging for property pickup. The Landlord provided evidence that the items were held for over a month and the Tenant was even invited to pick them up in mid-July but failed to do so.

The ruling

The Tenant's application is dismissed. The Member found that the Landlord did not deny the Tenant the 72-hour window required to retrieve belongings. The Tenant spent the time following eviction attempting to negotiate a new lease rather than picking up his property, and the Landlord actually stored the items for more than 30 days beyond the legal requirement.
