The tenant has left their belongings
Has the tenant left something?
If the tenant has left something at the residence, the landlord can take care of this and require that the tenant covers the cost. The landlord may for example rent a storage unit, or keep the objects at the residence until the tenant pays for the storage or picks up their belongings.
The landlord may, if possible, be required to send a written notification to the tenant encouraging them to pick up their belongings.
If the costs or inconvenience with storing the belongings become too big, the landlord can sell the belongings. The landlord can also sell the belongings if the tenant waits an unreasonably long before picking them up or paying for the storage.
The landlord can throw out trash and other scraps that the tenant leaves. This also applies to belongings it must assumed has so little value that the cost of selling them exceeds the rewards.
