    My in laws do this to me, but without asking.

    The second I got a house with a garage it got filled with hand me down furniture that I didn’t ask nor know they were dropping off. We don’t use any of it, and we can’t sell it since it belonged to someone in the family and is now on loan to us forever.

      Yea that’s a big no. Just tell them you are cleaning out the garage and ask them directly if they want to keep the furniture otherwise you are giving it away

        We have negotiated most things back to their houses, there’re still some things my wife says she’s going to refinish in our garage, but she really hates sanding so I don’t think they’ll get done unless I do the sanding for her (I actually enjoy sanding).
