Landlord Question and Answer Forum
Renters moved out in the night leaving toys, furntiure ,refirgerator, washer & dryer in the duplex.
What are the rules of engagement for the landlord left with unpaid rent for the month?
Rent was due Sept.1st and we live in Texas.

RE: abandoned property
Just about in every state if the property is abandoned take record and photos of it. You must hold on to the personal belonging for 30 days and send a notice to the tents if you have a forwarding address. You may also start the eviction process, if they did abandon the place post this to the property itself, store the personal belongings and begin to ready the house for the next tenants. If you are going to try to get the unpaid money from the tenant , either hold the security or make sure that the eviction is filed with the court so that you can use appropriate channels of debt collecting. If the property is deemed abandoned you may change the locks immediately, but if there is not enough proof do not.
