Just a quick question regarding a tenant leaving his possessions (everything is here, clothes, computer, passport, drivers license etc.) in the room I rented out to him now that the agreement expired. The tenant's rental agreement was up at the end of April (yesterday) for which he paid in full. However, last week he was hospitalized and has left everything of his in the room that I rented out to him, his car is also in my driveway (a beater, 2001 Honda). His family has since contacted me but there is no firm date to pick up his stuff (apparently the tenant is not cooperating with his family).

Now my question is, what exactly can I do here? Am I allowed to just dispose of his stuff after a certain period of time if his family doesn't come grab it? What are my options with the vehicle in the driveway?

Another thing of note is that I live on the property and shared a kitchen and living space with this guy so the RTA doesn't apply here.

Thanks for your help.

If the car isn't blocking anyone, leave it. Visit him in the hospital, be sincere, and if you do have to move his car ask him about it. Be understanding and try to help where you can.

OP has another thread in the Real Estate sub-forum with more details. He's trying to do the right thing. Otherwise he would have just tossed everything out a few days ago. The RTA says 72 hours, and this situation doesn't even need to abide by that.

Unless you start eviction process or something..
No?
