Final inspection and move-out complete. All items removed, inside and out.  What a relief.

Thanks again.

Chad,

Sorry for the late response. 

I like that solution.  Taking it a step further, "any items left behind by tenants, may be discarded by the landlord"?

What do you think? (legal disclaimer considered)

Nathan,

Thanks for the feedback and the link to Nolo.

 I will be adding a statement to the pre-moveout inspection document to cover the removal of all the boxes/items they stored on the patio for the last 5 years.

Thanks again

John

After 5 years+ my tenants have given their 30-day Notice.  

They have had items stored outside under a patio the entire time.  I am concerned that they may leave these items behind for me to deal with.   Is there any proactive action I can take to highly discourage this abandonment or will I have to take the steps for abandoned property?  ( tenant notification, newspaper notice, and public sale ) 

What can the landlord do if  there are items left over from the sale?  

Thank you Joshua.  These are new to me. I will be doing  research on this stradegy.

First post on BP.

I have a mortgage free San Francisco south bay SFH. I am thinking of using the 1031 and buying multiple replacements in out-of-state market(s). I am planning on, but not feeling real comfortable with the idea of, using a turnkey company to acquire the replacement properties. I guess I am leaning this way because of the "one stop shopping" can provide an "acceptable inventory?" and minimizes the cost/time limits of the 1031 process.

I have no experience buying properties long-distance in a specified time frame.  Are there other options that would make my 1031 a success without using a turnkey company?
