Tenant storing household/personal items in front yard

[Heidi M.]

I just did a drive by today and noticed my tenant is storing an excessive amount of household items in the yard, including indoor furniture.  It looks like a potential hoarding problem and I'd like to address it asap.  I am unable to find a sample clean up letter so I'm looking for advice on how to write up a letter.

You don't need anything fancy.

Keep it short and professional. Set a deadline. Follow through with inspection. Know what your next step is if they refuse to comply and be prepared to implement it immediately.
