Re: When abandoned personal property can be disposed of by a landlord
The rights of landlord and former tenant are set forth by statute and the landlord's responsibilities are rather strict. The code prescribes a form of notice to be given. You should look at the code itself, section 1951.3 of the Civil Code. It is available at county law libraries, most public libraries, and on line.
