Hi, and welcome. First, I am sorry you lost your father. That is very hard.

If you are still the owner of record on the property that lady lives in, you have the right to contact the people who sent the letter. Call them an explain the transfer of ownership and that you are just now becoming familiar with the various property. See what they have to say. How close is she to paying off the final amount? Regardless, for her, she has to be willing and able to make the changes they may demand. Find out what they want her to do. Talk to her and see if you can get an idea of what the problem is. Is she even aware of the situation as a "problem," or is she like some hoarders who don't see a problem?

You can do the landlady thing and put your foot down if necessary. Having others come in to remove debris can be pricey. Go to the top of this screen and click on National Resources to see what might be in your area. Also, talk to the letter send and see what local resources they may know of that might be of help. If the lady has money she can arrange most of this herself, and should.

Hope to hear back from you.

My father passed away the end of July, I have inherited several properties of his. Just when I though I had everything under control. (Collecting rent. paying property taxes, ect). I get two letters in one week about up coming inspections.

One house that my father has been selling on contract to a woman who has known her fair share of hard times, has been targeted because of the excessive amount of stuff in the yard. (Campers, construction debris, lawn mowers, even kitchen sinks).

My Dad has been sick for a long time, and I'm sure that he never even drove by because she is only $1000 away from owning the house outright and I think he felt that she was taking care of things. I don't think he had any idea that she is now a hoarder.

Well, the situation is that if she doesn't clean up her property, she could be evicted, and or fined. I don't want to do that to her, but I might be left without a choice if they come after me as the new landlord.

From the pictures, there is no possible way that she can get this stuff cleared out in time for the inspection. I also have a feeling that there are families living in the two campers that are there, as there are children's bicycles, and even a stroller outside the campers. The campers have electric cords going to them and air conditioners attached. So this is not one person who will be displaced, but families.

Is there any resources that are available to help this woman clear her yard? I'm not even sure who to call to do this kind of work. My husband and I both work full time jobs and could really use a hand...or a village of hands.

Any suggestions or referrals would be wonderful.
