Forum / General Property Management / Tenant moved out

My tenants told the police they would be moved by Thursday and we went by that evening and it appeared they had moved. Electricity was turned off by PGE the previous Monday. Do we have a right to take possession since I went to the back door and it appears everything is out.

RE: Tenant moved out

Seems to me that if the electricity is off and there is no evidence of life.....such as fridge being empty, no clothing.....etc... you should be able to take possession. Just make sure that you DOCUMENT everything with pics and so forth.
