    Default How to Stop a Subtenant from Selling Your Appliances

    A couple sublet their condo to a "friend" who asked if they would leave their washer and dryer, because she couldn't afford to buy new ones. The couple agreed. They just discovered a Facebook post by the "friend" that is offering their washer and dryer for sale. They contacted her and told her that she could not sell their appliances. She responded that they left them behind because they didn't want them, so they were hers to sell. What can they do to stop her from selling their washer and dryer?

    Default Re: How to Stop a Subtenant from Selling Your Appliances

    They can sue her for replevin to try to recover the property, although in most states the cost and complexity of that action might be more than the washer and dryer are worth. Only a few states allow that type of action in small claims court. In the alternative they can sue for the value of the washer and dryer, and see if that inspires her to let them take their appliances from the condo.
