I think the LL can throw it all out.

What do you base that on? Have you looked at prior posts on this topic?

An attorney told me that.

It's a broad statement and the attorney apparently did not tell you the entire story. On eviction or tenant abandonment, LLs must hold onto tenant belonings for a period of time (cost of storage will accrue to the tenant). After a period of time things might be discarded, but not right away.

Greetings,

Theory and practice are two different things. My LL claimed he didn't throw out things after my eviction. He lied. I saw many things in the dumpster outside the building. I'd like to know how liable LL is for irreplaceables, and not just via claims court. Does anyone have law information about this? I'm hiring a tort lawyer, but can't do so right now.
