Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

Re: civil matter

While placing items of personal property "on the curb" is a common practice in an eviction, keep in mind that these evictions are the result of a judicial process and a court order of eviction to be conducted by the sheriff, who will be present. In your case you are simply putting your one-time friend's belongings on the curb and he may or may not recover them. If he doesn't recover them, you may be liable for the loss of his property.
