Junk King is proud to be the region’s top-rated junk removal company. We offer full-service junk removal for everything from used furniture, to large appliances, to construction and yard debris, and everything in between. In this short article, we explain why hiring Junk King for your rental cleanout needs can expedite the moving-out and moving-in process for your tenants.
What to Do with Items Left Behind by Past Tenants?
As any property manager knows, things generally tend to get left behind when a tenant vacates a property. In many cases, this might simply be accidental. Moving is often a hurried and rushed process, and some people may simply forget to check the closet in the spare bedroom when loading up their belongings. In other cases, however, past renters may purposefully leave items behind because they either simply no longer want the items, or do not want to pay for the moving of those items to their next home.
In both cases, however, the owner of the property should follow a general set of rules for dealing with items left behind by past tenants.
- If small and insignificant items like trash and cleaning supplies are left behind, these can simply be thrown away.
- For larger items and items of value, you may be required to notify the tenant in writing before throwing away their property. According to the online legal encyclopedia Nolo, “Texas has very few written laws telling landlords how to deal with valuable personal property an ex-tenant leaves behind. The laws that Texas does have relate to how to deal with the property of a tenant who has been evicted, and under those laws a law enforcement officer is the one who takes care of the tenant’s abandoned property, not the landlord.”
- In order to avoid any sort of legal problems that may arise from abandoned or “left-behind” items from past renters, it is generally advisable to include abandoned property rules in your lease or rental agreement.
- For property of value that is left behind such as jewelry, electronics, furniture, you may consider giving written notice detailing how and where to reclaim the property. You should also provide a deadline for picking up their abandoned items or belongings. Thirty days is generally long enough, after which the failure to claim the property means it is legally abandoned. If you do have to store items, you can also require the past tenant to reimburse you for the cost of storing the items.
- Lastly, owners of rental properties should also take into consideration that you can deduct the cost of cleaning up a tenant’s rental unit from their security deposit. If your past renter left an enormous amount of trash and junk items sitting around the property, the cost of hiring an efficient and professional junk removal service like Junk King can be paid for through the past renter’s security deposit.
Why Choose Junk for your Rental Cleanout in Flower Mound
Imagine the following scenario:
A renter has recently vacated your apartment, and you have a waiting list of several other people urgently wanting to move in. If the past renter has left furniture, old TVs, broken down appliances, and other pieces of junk lying around, it would probably take you weeks to properly clear out that junk in order to get it ready for the next renter. Those weeks of hard work translate into lost rental income, and could potentially lead to a loss of a client.
Instead of trying to deal with the junk left behind by past tenants on your own, Junk King of Dallas Mid Cities offers a one-stop solution for all your rental cleanout needs. When you hire us for your rental cleanout in Flower Mound, our professional junk haulers will do all of the heavy lifting and hauling for you. Simply show us what items you want removed, and we will do the rest.
Furthermore, we take extra precaution to respect and care for your property throughout the junk removal process. In the unlikely event that we do scoff up a wall, our company is fully insured.
Another advantage that comes with hiring Junk King for your rental cleanout needs is that we can often offer our junk removal services on the same day you call us. Instead of waiting weeks for your local garbage truck to come and haul away the junk items, we can ensure that your rental property gets cleaned out as soon as the past renters vacate the property. This will allow you to find a new renter as quickly as possible to keep your rental income flowing in.
