I have a rental property. The tenants moved out and left a Direct Tv satellite dish on the house. Their lease states that after they give notice to move, and have finally left the premises, any items left on the property become the property of myself (the landlord). These tenants moved a year ago. They keep calling me and saying they want their satellite dish. I have made them aware that they no longer own the thing, and if they attempt to remove it, I will have them prosecuted for trespassing and theft (they left on very bad terms, owing rent money, etc).
Yesterday I was doing some work on the building and I removed the dish, and brought it home with me. First off, I dont want it hanging on the house for no reason, secondly, I dont have to deal with these idiots calling me anymore, and third, I may be able to sell it, "IF" they become property of the homeowner........ That's where my question arises. Are these rented from the Direct Tv company, or do the homeowner (user) buy them? I dont want to sell it if it belongs to the company. Otherwise it goes in my scrap metal pile....
Thanks
