Unfair and Deceptive Acts and Practices: 8.2.8.4 Landlord Seizure of Evicted Tenant’s Possessions
A moving and storage company engaged in UDAP violations where it negligently held a tenant’s property after a sheriff contracted with it to move the contents of the tenant’s apartment.131 Among its deceptive practices were selling the collateral before the time specified in a notice to the tenant and allowing items to be broken and stolen.132 Similarly a landlord commits a UDAP violation by selling a tenant’s property without a valid lien.133
