What To Do When Tenants Leave Rubbish and Junk Behind

You are not alone in this situation. It is a common problem for landlords and property managers.

The next step is to assess the situation. What kind of Junk did the tenant leave behind? Is it just trash or something more serious like hazardous materials?

If it's just Junk and Rubbish, then you can call your local rubbish removal company and ask them to come pick up the Junk. If it's something more serious, you should contact your local authorities to help dispose of hazardous materials.

Many tenants are reasonable people who keep their homes clean, pay their rent on time, and move out without any fuss. But every once in a while, we encounter one of those problem tenants that make things a lot more complicated.

They may be loud or rude. They may be struggling to pay their rent. And, in some cases, they may abandon your property – Leaving all their Junk Behind!

Tenants can leave behind everything and anything, from furniture, TVs, and clothes right down to electicials, even the cutlery!

Although Tenants are responsible for clearing everything from the property before moving on, it doesn't always happen.

If you find yourself in this situation, here is a list of things you can do to ensure your rental property is ready for the next tenant.

Landlords' rights and responsibilities

First, try and reach out to your tenants. Call up your tenants and arrange to dispose of the items that have been left. You may be able to agree on other options, such as storage. Each State will have its laws about personal property, so it's essential to check what rights you have for disposal. Read more here - Landlords' rights and responsibilities.

In general, perishable foods, dangerous goods and items of no monetary value can be disposed of immediately. If you're uncertain of whether an item has any worth, err on the side of caution and assume it does, as to how a tenant's lease has ended is relevant in the case of personal property.

Surprisingly, the death of a tenant is the fourth most common landlord insurance claim and while this would be a difficult time for all, your investment property still needs to generate income.

Rental Bond and/or insurance should cover your costs when hiring a Rubbish Removal company to clear out the tenant's Junk and rubbish home.
