My renter moved out several weeks before the end of her lease after violating the contract and nonpayment for 2 months. She left some furniture and clothes and garbage (which I deem to be of less than $250 in value). On the day the actual lease was up she left the door open for me and said she would leave the keys but did not. This was one week ago. She also left me with costly repairs from her damage. My attorney insists that I need to send an official letter and store her things and send her an itemized list......for 45 more days after we send the letter. I believe since she left voluntarily and I did not evict her that it is up to her to ask for her things and itemize them and I can dispose of them sooner without risking anything. I am willing to keep her things in the garage at her old residence for 30 days after the lease was up. Isn't that enough? Then I believe I can dispose of them (to the dump).Please give me your opinion.
