urgent question about previous tenant leaving washer / dryer & then wanting it back

[John Turk]

i had a previous tenant move out & she left behind the washer & dryer & also some construction materials. it has only been 4 days. what is the legal protocol on how to handle this situation?

the old tenant said shes coming by this saturday to get everything. what is the legal protocol that i as the landlord am supposed to follow? keep in mind im trying to avoid a situation where she is inconveniencing the new tenant by storing her stuff in the house & then coming by to pick it up.
