When Moving Out After A Foreclosure Can I take Appliances Fixtures etc Is Stripping the House Legal?

Stripping a house before moving out is not legal. Anything that is a FIXTURE must be left. Personal property can be taken. States may vary by what they consider a fixture, but anything that is installed is definitely a fixture. Unless your contract specifically states you may, you may not remove anything that has been installed, EVEN IF YOU INSTALLED IT YOURSELF. It became a fixture of the house when you installed it. EX: A washer and dryer is normally simply hooked up, not installed and is therefore generally considered personal property. A dishwasher, cabinets, stove, etc, are fixtures. A microwave that just sits on the counter is personal property. the over the stove microwave is a fixture. If you are not sure, CHECK YOUR STATE LAW. You can be prosecuted for hindering a secured creditor or theft or similar depending on the state.
