tenant leaves all of their things after notifying of moving

It recently came up on a post from a friend on facebook. A tenant vacated a property after notifying the landlord of this 30 days in advance as required by agreement. When she did not come on that date he changed the locks preparing for the next tenant, but left her things untouched. Some are arguing that he has to "evict" her even though she gave notice. From my understanding, this is not true however he has to hold her things "for a reasonable amount of time" which is usually 30 days or so. He can even move it to storage after taking photos of course and charge said tenant for storage fees. However, someone on said post said he won in court and the landlord had to evict him. This doesnt seem correct so for future reference I am coming to the experts!!!

Also, local facebook discussions is a GREAT way to know who NOT TO RENT TO i'm finding out!
