Previous Owner Won't Stop - What to do when the people who sold you the house keep sending mail and packages to it, hold onto a key, show up uninvited, or took fixtures before closing: document it, rekey, and know who to call #1012489

The papers are signed, the keys are yours, and yet the sellers' mail keeps arriving, a stranger's packages pile up on the porch, and someone still seems to think this is their house. It is awkward, it is irritating, and most advice you find online swings between 'just throw it out' and 'call the police.' Previous Owner Won't Stop is a calm, step-by-step guide for new homeowners who are dealing with the leftovers of a sale: mail and packages for the people who sold you the house, keys and codes that may still be out there, a former owner who drops by, and fixtures or belongings that went missing or were left behind. It is built around general information, hedged by state, and around protecting you without turning a neighbor into an enemy. It is not about sellers who refuse to hand over possession at closing; that is a different problem with different rules. This book starts the day you own the house and the question is how to make it feel like yours. Inside, you'll learn: You bought the house. This book helps you set clear, legal, low-drama limits so you can finally settle in.
