Each state has different requirements on personal property disposition after eviction and or restitution under their landlord tenant act. Your best bet is to go to http://www.realestateformnm.com/contact.html and copy and paste this message on the message area: "please send me the land lord tenant act for my state" give them the name of your state and they will send you the link for free. When you receive it go to the link page and look up the requirements for notification of the former tenant regarding the disposition of the personal property and what you can do with the personal property if they do not respond. Some states even have a notification form set up that you simply complete the blanks.

What are you asking.... exactly?
Did this person just up and leave their property in your house/apartment? Have they already moved out?
If you are the landlord, then you should contact your lawyer (you DO have a lawyer don't you?) and have him/her draw up the letter and send it to the former tenant. You want to make sure that you do everything according to the law. You don't want to end up on Judge Judy!

Each state differs in what their requirements are on notice for personal property that has been abandoned. You need to research local statutes as to what you are required to do legally to avoid a civil suit.
