Forum / Move-Out & Eviction / Abandonment

If Tenant refuses the Landlord entry two days in a row and then vacates, turns Utilities off and removes all items from the Premise when is it considered Abandonment?

RE: Abandonment

Michelle, I pulled this info via the site... FL Assist: The landlord must send a notice, to the place the tenant is expected to receive it, that (1) describes the property in sufficient detail for the tenant to identify it, (2) advises him that he has 10 days (15 days if the notice is mailed) to claim it, (3) appraises him of reasonable storage costs, and (4) tells him where to claim the property. The notice must also inform him that unclaimed property of value will be sold at a public sale and property believed to be worth less than $500 will be kept, sold, or destroyed. After deductions for storage, advertising, and the sale, landlords must turn over to the county any residual proceeds
