NY Tenant Left Jet Ski

[Dan Liptak]

HI BP,

Need some advice.  I have a tenant that broke a lease and left me with a mess to cleanup.  I had them sign paperwork surrendering the keys, their tenancy, and stating all property left behind is of no value to them and can be discarded at their expense.

We had a spoken agreement that the jet ski was important to him and he will come collect it. That was last week... he still never retrieved it.  A couple of days ago he said he would retrieve it yesterday and still has not taken it.

Please advise me of what I can do:  can i charge storage fee (how much/day)? get it towed as abandoned vehicle? keep it?

Thanks
