What Happens If I Leave Some Of My Belongings Or Property In The Rental Unit After I Move Out?
Personal property is generally considered “abandoned” when a tenant leaves his/her belongings in the unit after the lease unless there is some agreement made between the tenant and the landlord to store the property. In most cases, when property is left in the unit and abandoned the landlord may remove the property and either store it or dispose of the property. Reasonable notification that property has been left in the uit should be given to the former tenant so that the tenant may reclaim the property. State laws may vary regarding how long a landlord may be required to store property before the landlord can dispose of it.
