Abandoned Property After Tenant Has Vacated

Shiv B.

Posted

Hello all, shortly before their vacate date my tenant re-keyed locks and refused to respond to messages to schedule move out and handing over of keys and was unavailable at the property on the last day of lease. They eventually vacated late at night two days later with a snarky text message indicating the location of keys left in the yard. Tons of trash left in the home and in the garage along with personal possessions - toiletries in bathroom, decrepit looking washer and dryer in basement (not hooked up and seemingly long unused ), old couch, old truck tires, vehicle battery, TV stand, mower and vac in garage. Due a separate bunch of ongoing issues, tenant has not provided any forwarding address. Could folks with knowledge of Columbus, OH laws on abandoned property advise me the best way to deal with the stuff that has been left behind? Thank you.
