Im renting, notice of auction was taped to door. How much time do i have before sheriffs throw my stuff out?

im worried about coming home and finding my locks changed or finding my belongings impounded or out on the curb. i have alot of valuable guitars and sound gear. i just learned about this 2 weeks ago. how long do i have before this happens and can it happen without notice? do i have to see or recieve other notices after the auction notice? are there any things i can do to stay longer if i havent found a place?

omg...don't ask that question here...how would we even know? these thing vary form state to state, city to city.



What did the notice say? Was there a date on the notice? A phone number, a person to call? Surely, there was something more on the notice besides the words %26quot;notice%26quot; and %26quot;auction%26quot;



I mean, who put the notice there? The sheriff, a bank, an auction company?? Call whoever is listed on the notice

Generally, you have 30 days from notice posting, but you should really contact your landlord/rental agency for solid information. Also, check the notice as well; most are required to have contact information on them.
Unfortunately they can kick you out without notice since you already got a notice of auction. As a renter, you are screwed. You might have as much as 30 days from the date of notice, but it depends on your state. If you are that worried about your stuff, you might want to find somewhere else to keep it. Also, if you see your old landlord, thank him for screwing you and smear poop on him
i would think that the landlord could tell you and if not then perhaps calling an attorney. not sure why the action. are you behind on rent. if that's the problem it couldn't hurt talking to your landlord. try calling the sheriffs dept. where i live it's the county's responsibility. usually takes maybe two to three months where i live good luck!
there should be a date and no they wont extend it if there's not a date there's a contact number to call the best thing is to get out as soon as possible because when the date comes they are not going to let you take your things they will become the property of the land lord so get out before you are kicked out and lose everything
It's usually pretty fast. Not to scare you or anything, but it could be within a few days if the landlord is serious and the sheriff's department isn't too busy. I'd suggest you contact the number on the notice as soon as possible.
you really have everyone confused. what is a notice of auction? are you sure you did not mean evistion?
