First of all, let the Constable be the "bad guy", not you. Defer all Qs and complaints by the T to him/her. The Constables have probably worked dozens of evictions, so they know how to handle a difficult T.

Second, if you and several "workers" are removing a Ts possessions to the curb, treat ALL their possessions with "kid gloves". GENTLY take them to the curb. DO NOT "THROW" ANYTHING ! TREAT the T with RESPECT at all times. If possible, change the locks while the Constable is still there.

Be sure the T leaves, BEFORE the constable does. Get a phone # from the Constable, so if the T comes back later to confront you, you know who to call. Remember, the Ts stuff that's on the curb, is STILL THE Ts stuff, even if it's sitting outside. DO NOT TOUCH IT FOR AT LEAST 2 Days.

I met with the Constable, secured the unit and the Constable contacted the T via phone to inform him that he was not permitted back on the property and to contact me to schedule time for him to remove his property. I took pictures of everything and left it untouched since he will be removing it himself. T has already started the "you'll hear from my lawyer" threats.

I would prefer that someone removes T's shtuff and I don't have to deal with him directly.
