The people selling wanted to keep a key at closing so they could take their time finishing emptying it, and I assume keep living in it while I was away. YEA RIGHT, that wasn't going to happen!!!
I was leaving 2 days later, so I spent 5 hours NON STOP putting their crap into garbage bags and leaving it outside for them to sort through. I put what I thought might be needed in one pile, the obvious old crap in another pile. I think it was about 40 full garbage bags. I wasn't going to come back to a VERY DIRTY house full of crap, so I spent another 5 hours the next day cleaning.
Not the best start to owning a home in TV, but it was a blip in an otherwise awesome investment.
Good luck to you for your house to feel good soon.

Interesting approach. I like it. I would have likely gone one step further and moved it all to a storage facility. The kind that offers "first month free!" Then give them the key. They have a month to either sort it out and handle it or continue to pay for the storage unit on their own dime. That also meets most state's eviction demands upon the landlords, that they maintain the evictees personal property for 30 days post eviction. Just another feather to CYA.
