After more than 25 years, I'd finally found the cleanest eviction I'd ever seen. Then the neighbor walked over and said four words: “That's my stuff.”
## The Cleanest Eviction
The apartment was nearly empty. The floors were swept and mopped. Even the refrigerator shelves had been washed and left to dry.
After more than 25 years of evictions, it was easily the cleanest one I'd ever seen.
Then the movers started removing the only property worth storing, and a neighbor walked over with an unexpected announcement: **“That's my stuff.”**
What followed was a strange collision of an early move-in, an unreported move-out, and an eviction crew caught directly in the middle.
A true story about why, in this job, even the simplest eviction can take an unexpected turn.
