Fulton v. Allard's Moving & Storage, Inc., 139 N.H. 582 (1995)

The plaintiff owned and occupied a home mortgaged to Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Federal). After the mortgage became delinquent, Federal foreclosed and executed a deed transferring ownership in the property to itself. Federal commenced eviction proceedings against the plaintiff in February 1991, and on March 3, 1993, the Superior Court {Goode, J.) ordered that the plaintiff be evicted immediately. On April 22, 1993, approximately two years after Federal initiated eviction proceedings, the plaintiff was formally evicted from the property. As of that date, the plaintiff had made no arrangements to remove her personal property from the residence. During the two months following eviction, she did not remove her property even though she had limited access to the *584residence for that purpose. Federal retained the defendant, who packaged and removed the plaintiff’s personal property to its warehouse on June 24 and 25,1993.
