Could you please name 10 states that have this law, so we can check it out to see if you are correct ? What you say, may be true in certain situations, but I doubt it in a full-blown eviction setting.

You are free to look this up yourself. No one here works for you!

Among the states that require a duty to store are Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin. State statutes impose on landlords a duty to store a tenant's property for a certain period of time after eviction, ranging from three to forty-five days.

So how does it work ? On the eviction day, does the T's "stuff" go to the curb, then onto a truck/trailer, and then to a storage place ? Or is it put directly on the truck/trailer first, then put in storage? Who is liable for damages or missing items of the T's stuff? If placed on a curb,how long does it stay there ? Can the LL "store" the items on the same property the T's were evicted from----meaning it really never leaves the place.

You would need to read each state landlord tenant law as each state has different procedures and requirements.
