tenant disappeared and left furniture

[Zaid Badabwan]

Hello

BiggerPockets is becoming my first source of information, so lots of thanks for everyone contributing to the forum.

One of my tenants in Florida did not pay rent for the last two months and I did not take any action because of the Covid-19 and he promised to pay when I called him. Yesterday, he called me and said that he left a month ago and that there are people in the apartment!! He also said that I can do whatever I want to do.

I ran to the property and got the person inside out and changed the lock. I also made a police report.

Now, he left his furniture and I would like to know the appropriate action I should do before I get rid of the furniture? 

Do I have to ask him to collect his furniture? I can do a text message but have no idea about his address.

Does anybody know what is the right legal action?

Any other advice will be appreciated.
