What does a property manager do with everything a tenant leaves behind?

When a tenant leaves belongings behind, a property manager must first follow local laws for handling abandoned property. Once legally acceptable, the unit can be cleared by a junk removal crew.

Sometimes when tenants move out or are evicted, they leave things behind. Sometimes these things can be quite bulky like furniture or mattresses. Even a lot of big, bulky boxes can be hard to move without help. Property managers have to wait before they clear the space out. Georgia and local municipalities have rules about how a tenant's abandoned property is to be handled, usually around notice and holding periods. But once the period is up, the question then becomes: how do we remove the items quickly so the property can be listed again?

That is where a junk removal crew keeps the turnover moving. The Junkluggers of Atlanta Metro East is one such crew. They can help with leftover furniture, mattresses, appliances, and other junk, both bulky and lightweight, in one visit. They can carry everything from the unit for you so the maintenance crew can do what comes next. That way, you’ll have the property broom-clean and ready to show.

If you are a property manager with multiple properties, it can help to have a junk removal partner as a go-to. We work with many on an ongoing basis as part of our property management service. That means you could have a reliable crew on call for every turnover. After picking up items, we sort what we collect so usable items are donated and rehomed rather than dumped. You get a written on-site estimate before any work begins, and with same-day and next-day service available when the schedule allows. All in all, it means you can reset a unit and get it back on the market fast.
