Once your tenant vacates you might find some abandoned personal property. It is unwise to merely throw these articles away . Technically you should store these items in a locked area. You then must mail out an abandoned personal property form available from my office and mail it to the tenant's last known address.
Any funds collected go to pay the storage, moving and auction costs.
The balance is to be returned to the tenant. For a free copy of this form and a letter which explains the details of declaring this property abandoned, feel free to contact my office by returning to the Landlord's Home Page.
