Which of the following is not true regarding a tenant's possessions after eviction?

  1. They belong to the landlord.

  2. They can be retrieved within a specified time.

  3. They are auctioned by the landlord.

  4. The tenant loses all rights to them immediately.

The correct answer is: They belong to the landlord.

After eviction, a tenant's possessions do not automatically belong to the landlord. In most cases, the landlord can only keep possessions that are considered abandoned or left behind by the tenant. Possessions that are considered personal property of the tenant cannot be taken by the landlord without proper legal procedure. Option B and C may also be incorrect depending on the specific laws and terms of the eviction. Option D is generally incorrect as the tenant may have the opportunity to retrieve their possessions after eviction.
