Termination of Contract

I need some advice...

I have a tenant who wants to terminate the contract after just a couple weeks living in the unit becuase her boyfriend became abusive and put her in the hospital... she has no job and can not pay rent... he is in jail and can not pay rent either...  

She asked me to give her the deposit back (which I don't mind doing) however... I told her to move everything from the unit out and leave it as I gave it to her and I will give her the deposit back... 

I went yesterday because I see no one is living in the unit... I knocked and no one opens the door... I looked in the window and saw all her boyfriends stuff in the unit... 

What should I do? I know she has until this Friday to move everything out but I have a feeling she will be leaving all her boyfriends stuff in there... 

I have a clause in the contract that says if they abandoned the unit I can throw away everything... but I want to make sure I do it the right way becuase I don' want this to come back biting me... 

I don't want problems... she has threatened me saying she will take me to court becuase my efficiecy is illegal and she wants her deposit back...  also in my contract I put early termination will result in a $900 fee and it was a 6 month contract... any advice will help
