    Default Who Owns an Evicted Tenant's Possessions

    Hello,

    Following an eviction in Florida. If the tenant doesn't move out when the 24 hour notice is posted on the door, who owns the stuff in the house?
    If the sheriff has to escort him out and change the locks, does he get to move all his stuff out with him, or does the landlord own it?
    Can the landlord sell it to get back some of the rent owned, or does the landlord responsible for getting it to the old tenant?

    Thanks,

    The tenant still owns it.

    It is up to the tenant to secure it after the sheriff's department removes everything (or watches the tenant remove it).
