Regarding your post yesterday on the topic of "Junk left behind." I do not do what you do because of the following Indiana law IC 32-31-4-2.

Indiana Code Title 32. Property § 32-31-4-2

Sec. 2 . (a) A landlord has no liability for loss or damage to a tenant's personal property if the tenant's personal property has been abandoned by the tenant.

(b)For purposes of this section, a tenant’s personal property is considered abandoned if reasonable person would conclude that the tenant has vacated the premises and has surrendered possession of the personal property.

I print out a form on Word that contains the above and the following sentence,

The owner has found -- address of property -- to be abandoned on -- date you say it is abandoned.

The evidence I use is: no utilities on (disconnected), no hygienic items in the bathroom, no food and/or cooking utensils, no pets if they had them, no cigarettes if they had them, no vehicle parked nearby for a few days.

Hope this helps.

Our LL assoc has an ABANDONED PROPERTY notice in our handbook.

It’s a form letter that lists several common reasons so the LL can simply check what applies.

It also says to call this number within 48 hours or all items will be disposed.
