What to do if your tenant attempted suicide and is now admitted?

[Cheng Bin Zhang]

A tenant of ours was admitted to hospital for attempting suicide.  Fortunately, he is okay.  We salvaged all of his stuff and is waiting for doctors or his family to contact us.  Curious if anyone has dealt with this situation before?  How did you handle it?  Obviously we want to be sensitive to the situation but we also cannot have a room sit vacant forever.  Seeking some advice.

We had a tenant die (in hospital) recently. We contacted family members who emptied and cleaned the apartment. We refunded the deposit, did paint and flooring and rented the unit with a big increase lickety split!
