Reposted from Chat - can anyone advise?
Does anyone know if a property management company can confiscate residents' personal property left in communal areas in a private block of flats?
I own a flat which I rent out. My tenants have been in contact absolutely distraught as without any notice, the management company have sent people around and removed items left in communal areas (buggies on the ground floor, shoes left outside front doors etc). Can they do that? Yes, there are signs on the ground floor saying don't leave buggies here but no notice has been given to me or the tenants saying they'd be removing property. The company has said they'll give them back but it'll cost £100 to get them from storage.
Is this legal?
