I think my tenant moved out. What should I do?

[Mike NA]

Hi everyone. I have a problem that I hope you can help with. I haven't gotten rent from a tenant in a while and have made phone calls and sent letters to no avail. When speaking to a neighbor, I asked if they knew about this tenant and they said that they didn't think anyone was living there.

I dropped off notice saying I'd be going to check on the property for inspection and then visited the unit the next day. It appears as though this person no longer lives there. There are a few things in the property such as a dresser, mattress, box-spring, and garbage, but nothing else really.

It looks to me like she is gone.

What should I do? Can I just haul her crap away and move on? I don't see the point of using a lawyer because whe's already out. She does owe me around $800.

What should I do?

I'm leaning towards just hauling the stuff away and moving on. She broke her contract by not paying and from my phone calls, letters, and the word of neighbors, she's a ghost.

Anyone?
