Do your tenants leave anything behind when they move out?
We have a clearly written move-out check list, indicating to be sure that everything has been removed from the storage areas, and the state law says anything left behind is officially abandoned.
Well, we clean out the basement every couple of years, and last week we found all sorts of things... Since we don't do a thorough basement clean every tenant turnover, we have no idea who this stuff might belong to.
This time we found a broken floor lamp, laundry basket, blankets, suitcase full of clothes (the name on the suitcase tag was never a tenant of ours), boxes of shoes, espresso machine, artwork, dishes, pots and pans, more shoes, still more shoes, ....
and..... a vibrator.
Off to goodwill with much of it. [We thought we might hide the vibrator in one of the pairs of shoes so someone at goodwill might have a laugh like we did. Or is that being mean?]
Any good stories from your found items?
