The Community Services Department is required by law to store the goods resulting from evictions within the Town of North Haven for fifteen (15) days after an eviction has occurred. Goods are stored in a selected storage facility in town.
Evictees:
Legal questions regarding evictions should be directed to the State Marshal handling the case or to the Court.
To schedule a pickup of your personal belongings being stored by the Town, please contact Central Connecticut Transportation Movers and Storage at 203-630-2287. Or visit their website at: https://centralcttrans.net/
Importantly, please note that subsection (c) of the statute provides that: “Whenever the possessions and personal effects of a defendant are removed by a state marshal under this section, such possessions and effects shall be delivered by such marshal to the designated place of storage. Such removal, delivery and storage shall be at the expense of the defendant. If such possessions and effects are not reclaimed by the defendant and the expense of such storage is not paid to the chief executive officer within fifteen days after such eviction, the chief executive officer shall sell the same at public auction, after using reasonable efforts to locate and notify the defendant of such sale and after posting notice of such sale for one week on the public signpost nearest to the place where the eviction was made, if any, or at some exterior place near the office of the town clerk. The chief executive officer shall deliver to the defendant the net proceeds of such sale, if any, after deducting a reasonable charge for storage of such possessions and effects. If the defendant does not demand the net proceeds within thirty days after such sale, the chief executive officer shall turn over the net proceeds of the sale to the town treasury.”
State Marshals:
Notice of evictions must be made twenty-four (24) hours in advance by statute.
