Vacated tenants that owe two months rent

Kim Le
Posted

Location: New Orleans, La... I have tenants that have not paid rent for two months. They decided not to continue their lease and that they have vacated the property. I emailed her for the keys to the property. I did not receive an email back so I went to check on the property and also change the locks. I found items that belongs to the tenants. I have not touch anything yet. I finally get an email from the tenants asking to retrieve items because I have change out the locks. Can I get some guide on how to approach this matter appropriately?

You'll need to see the LA state property code. In Texas, there is a difference of what you can do when the tenants leave vs abandon the property.
