We terminated our DH of 6 months, 10 days back for poor performance, giving her 1 month wages in lieu of notice. DH has left our flat with some belongings but most of her belongings are still at our flat. we have a new DH starting next week and need the room back. We have tried to contact our ex DH to take her items away but she has not been taking our calls.


Could anyone advise on how long we need to keep her belongings at our flat in case she does not pick them up in time? thanks

if you know her address - then send her a formal letter stating that as of her termination date xxx, her belongings have been left at your place, and that you are giving her some time (say one month?) for her to clear the place otherwise, the items will be removed and thrown away. make a copy to immigration & labor department and to the philippine consulate to avoid any disputes later on.


you can also try texting her this message as they respond more to text /sms.


try to call bethune house if they could keep her stuff for a while but if they do accept it, then let your ex helper know where it was dumped.


also make another notice after two weeks of the first notice so that there will be no dispute that the first one was never received

Surely she will have made friends in your building/area? You could ask them to try to contact her to get her things back. Perhaps she's embarassed to face you in person and it might be easier if you can give the things to a neighbor or ask her to send a friend to pick them up.

I wouldn't wait a month. If she couldn't be bothered to take the stuff with her, and didn't even ask you to keep store it for a week or two, she obviously doesn't care that much about it. Embarrassed or not, that's her problem.


Call her (you have) and send a letter. If you don't get an answer within a week throw it out.
