Property Ownership Dispute Resolution
Summary
In North Carolina, disputes over property ownership, such as furniture in a rental, can be complex. Oral agreements are hard to enforce without documentation. If utilities are marked n/a in the lease, the landlord might be responsible. For disputes, document all communications and consider consulting a real estate attorney. If the landlord claims ownership of furniture, request written proof. Small claims court can handle disputes up to $10,000, where you can represent yourself. Filing a complaint involves a modest fee. Document the furnitures condition to defend against damage claims. Consider reaching out to the North Carolina Bar Association for pro bono services if needed.Full Conversation

Hi D D! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
The property we rent was sold and the new landlord accepted the original lease, which only states the rent amount , our names and the end of the lease. The new owner now claims that all the furniture in the house is his and is refusing to give us an itemized list of the furniture which he claims to own. The previous owners are the grandparents of my child who orally allowed us to either keep or throw away the furniture which they bought with the house. The lease is ending in * weeks and we were not given any list of the furniture which the new owner apparently owns. The only respond we got was to look at the Real Estate sites which has the picture of the furniture sold in * to the previous owners. There was a conflict between me and the previous owners (my child's grandparents) and the result was, that they did not informed us about the sale.
It sounds like a tricky situation. Here are a few points to consider:
- Typically, oral agreements are harder to enforce, especially if not documented.
- The lease might need to specify ownership of furniture.
- Requesting written documentation from the new landlord might help.
- Consider seeking mediation for a resolution.
