How to Get Rid of Tenants’ Belongings

If you've been a landlord for some time, you know how to move in and out of rental space. Most of the time, tenants will follow the rules and give you the keys after the expiration of their lease. However, the process is not always smooth, and some tenants will move out, leaving their items behind. If this is the case for you, dealing with stuff left behind can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Starr Dumpsters can help to safely get rid of belongings left behind, ensuring your rental is in tip-top condition for the next tenant.

Since throwing things on the curb for the weekly trash pickup is not a viable solution, you may consider a dumpster rental. We have a wide range of quality dumpster rental units that vary in size, allowing you to safely dispose of the items without risking code violations and subsequent fines. When tenants just up and leave without giving you the keys or saying goodbye, it can be challenging to locate them when they go belongings in the apartment. While a rental space full of someone else's things can be a problem, here are some options you may consider to rid yourself of them.

Get In Touch with the Former Tenant

The Uniform Residential Landlord-Tenant Act states that landlords should make a reasonable effort to reach out to the tenant and give them a chance to retrieve their belongings. This entails sending a certified letter within fourteen days and waiting a reasonable amount before getting rid of them. The letter should include your name and address, the former tenant's name and last known address, a list of items left behind, and the date by which the items should be retrieved.

The letter should also state that if the tenant doesn't pick up the listed items in storage, you will dispose of them. If all efforts to reach the tenant fail, we can help you rent a dumpster to dispose of the items. A property management company can help with the process since they conduct in-depth tenant verification checks, making it easy to contact former tenants.

Hire a Dumpster Company

Make sure you rent a dumpster from a reputable service provider to access professional services without breaking the bank. If the items are bulky or too many for you to handle, a dumpster company can remove the tenant's belongings and put them in a dumpster rental unit. This excellent idea allows you to toss everything and be done with it.
