Tenants moved out
I had tenants on a month to month lease yesterday I caught them moving out without notice. They said they would be gone today . I went by and there are things still there with front the unlocked. Noone is there and the won't answer calls or texts to verify they are done moving. How should I go about changing the locks and getting the house ready to rerent?
Can I just do it or is there a legal procedure?

Geez. Mike Kooser Sr please don't "chat" with a lawyer again. Make sure you have everything in writing. Take pictures and make sure that there are no obvious signs of someone still living there (bedding, food, etc). Then give me a call and I'll make sure you are good to go.
