What can we do to get a former occupant’s belongings out?
My sister and I made an arrangement with my sisters daughter that she could live rent free in my mother’s condo as long as she cared for my mother. She has been there for over three years and suddenly met a boy, became engaged in less than a month and is now living with him in his mothers house. She just left my mother high and dry. She still gets her mail at the condo and has a lot of her belongings there and her car; with no license plates in my mothers parking spot. We want her belongings and car out of there to get the condo ready to be put on the market. My mother is now living with my sister. Her belongings are preventing us from doing this and the bedroom she used is ruined.

I would serve her with a thirty (30) day notice of termination of the lease and if she does not get her belonings out by then, file an unlawful detainer action to end the lease and for the damages she caused. Given what you have written, I would consult with a landlord tenant attorney to assist you in the endeavor.
