Hello, this is my first time posting on the forum and would really like any available advise possible.
I have an issue with tenant who has "moved out." On Agust 23, 2009, a tenant who was renting a room from me, (It should be noted I live in the same house.) lease expired. He had been coming and going off and on from late July to mid august moving bits and pieces of his items. I learned from a friend whom talked with the tenant before he vanished that he had rented from another location. The last time I saw him was on August 13 and the last time he came by that I know of was August 15, (he left the door to the room open and I noticed he was coming by while I was at work.)
He still has items in the room, but he hasn't paid rent or bills since August (All of which were a part of his lease.) Also he left a bag of trash and other items that has caused a pest infestation. He no longer has a security deposit due to a breach in contract (continued smoking in the house which he recieved several warnings before I pulled the deposit.) The room has a broken window, damage to the walls, and trash. I have documented all of this.
I have no viable means of contacting him and I need to repair the room as soon as possible because I have another person whom is interested in renting the room. I was wondering what my options are, if I could simply remove the items after 30 days of not seeing him and declare the property abandoned
