I have a rental property a few cities over from where I live. I have been trying to get ahold of my current tenants for almost two weeks to do a scheduled smoke detector/maintenance check on the property. I went over today unannounced and found the property abandoned, but cleaned from what I could tell. I did not have a key with me but could see into the kitchen and lots of cleaning trash in the cans. I talked to the neighbors and found out they had talked/seen them move out a few weeks ago and have not noticed them back to the property since. They paid April's rent on time so something happened shortly after. They left a cab and chassis diesel truck in the driveway though. What do I do from here? I plan on going into the property and getting it rent ready this weekend but where should I go legally from here? They did break the lease and what should I do about the truck? I assume they can leave it there till the end of April because they are paid till then.
