Can Abandoned Property Removal Costs be deducted?

[Mark M.]

I am not sure on the specifics regarding the costs associated with tenants abandoning personal property.

Since we have 30 days to refund the security deposit, and if the tenant does not or refuses to claim any abandoned personal properties after X number of days, can the cost of storage or removal be deducted from the security deposit?

I understand I also have the right to sell the abandoned property after X number of days but if I need to remove the personal property immediately for the next tenant, can I deduct the cost from the security deposit?
