I spent almost 3 days cleaning out the furniture, clothing, and trash they left in the house and in the yard. 

Analysts predict that a broad pullback on grocery spending could also mean lower sales in the future for more discretionary items such as clothes and cars.

While not a complete list, the following facts, coupled with the tenant being gone, are circumstantial evidence of a tenant’s intent to abandon: rent is unpaid; can’t contact tenant after repeated attempts over time; no one has seen the tenant; the tenant’s vehicle is gone; utilities and/or phone is disconnected, or has been transferred back to the landlord or community; all food has been removed, or remaining food is spoiling; toiletries removed; most furniture has been removed, especially beds; mail is stacking up, or is forwarded; children have not been seen, or are not in school; storage locker emptied; clothing removed."

Most of their parents' belongings, including clothes, furniture, appliances, and junk, were still in the house, but from what i could see, the house looked like it would be just about ready to live in once everything was removed.

If all the food, clothing, and furniture is gone, they're probably gone.

My daughter has trouble living with anyone, even best friends -- so if you get upset at someone leaving a coffee cup on the counter or clothes in the dryer, bringing other friends in the house, etc., then maybe find an alternative to renting out a room.

So if you go any of about 5 national clothing chains I've worked with in the past few years and complain that they're always out of something, there's a decent chance you're griping at me.I sold out in Kentucky a few years ago and moved to Florida.
