Renter’s Repossession of Property Owner’s Goods?

stop home repossession
My family rents from a home but we do not have access to the garage at our house. Repo men have come to our home asking us for the car which we know nothing of. They keep saying that they know the car is in the garage but the property owner does not give us keys to that garage. They keep harassing us at many hours of the night and we tell them that the property owner lives down the street and to go bug them. Are there any laws or forms that we can show them so they stop bugging us?

    Regardless what may, or may not, be in the garage, it’s of no concern to any repossession professionals. While the landlord may own the property, legal authority over the property has essentially been transferred to the tenant, who shares no reponsibility for the debts of the landlord.

    Bottom line is that you need to file a complaint with the police for these people harrassing you without cause, and for disturbing the peace. If the police refuse to give assistance in your situation, the next step would be to make an appointment with the mayor’s office to find out why the police are not doing their job. After that, find out if a local TV station would be interested in the story.

    It’s also a good bet that the landlord could be facing trouble for violation of state landlord-tenant laws by storing personal property on a rental property that a tenant is paying for, including full use of said property.
