If a tenant abandons a rental property, the landlord can take possession of any personal property left behind. The landlord must store and care for the tenant's property and can sell it after 28 days. At least 14 days before selling, the landlord must make a reasonable effort to notify the tenant in writing and by posting notice on the property. The landlord can keep money from the sale to cover removal, storage, and other costs owed by the tenant, and must return any remaining funds to the tenant upon request. The landlord must also allow the tenant to retrieve their property within 24-48 hours upon written request.
