You can toss out what's obvious garbage, and they suggest you store anything that looks like it's of value for a reasonable time, and send the tenant info to come get their stuff by X date.http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/handling-te...It looks like different cities and counties in Ohio have different court websites, and without looking closely, it looks possible the procedures may be different depending on where you are, so Google your city or county and "housing court evictions"This one for Cleveland says you need to first serve a 3 day notice to pay or quit, wait 3 business days, then start the eviction through Housing Court.http://clevelandhousingcourt.org/hc_fq_b.html

One roll of paper towels on the kitchen counter with one garbage bag.  12 pack of bottled water in the fridge.I think of it as providing the kind of little life necessities that most people don't think of until they need it NOW! 

Seven month later they moved out over one weekend leaving me with 40+ bags of garbage, utilities off and spoiling food in the frig and a kitty litter box full of....well, you know (and no pets were allowed in the place).Since then I've had at least three other applicants put down friends names as landlords. 

Thanks for the replies,Monthly expenses include: garbage $15, electricity $83, gas $124, snow removal $15, insurance $141, property taxes $294, mortgage $722.03, 5% vacancy estimate ($118), 5% repair estimate ($118), & %10 CapEx estimate ($236).

Don't be surprised if the first few deals you pitch to either private lenders or HML's end up in the garbage can.  

Better add if so.Utilities/Garbage = 0 **are you paying these?

Door is locked all furniture is out just misc. garbage on floor.... how do I move about moving on from the tenant and go in and remove the garbage and move on to marketing the property again?

You will get a lot more trash, a lot less of it makes it into the garbage, and being considerate of neighbors as to noise etc. is something they are not used to. 

Yes - exactly, sewer, water garbage.

The garbage attorney advertising on the side of a bus shook us three times for $1,500 per pop until we finally said, "Ok...no...let's go to court".
