Bought new MFH Unit, the last remaining tenant moved out

I just purchased a 3-unit property in a Metro Detroit Suburb in Wayne County, 4/1/2019.  The tenant dodge for the first 10 days of the month, then said they were moving out.

The property appears abandoned, but some personal items has been left.  I have changed the locks on the other units and entries, should I change the locks on the now vacated unit.  The "former" tenant is not responding to calls or text messages for the last week.

I have never dealt with this as I have typically bought properties empty, or tenants have negotiated in good-faith for an exit, and paid appropriately.

How do I handled this because I wish to start renovations.
