My tenant was arrested and removed by police 3 weeks ago. I don’t know if he is in jail or coming back. How do I find out about him? Can I rent out his room? When? Most belongings were taken by police, what should I do with the few items remaining?

As you may know, the tenant being in jail does not mean the tenancy has ended. It is also unclear whether or not the renter has to share a kitchen or bathroom with the owner (presumably you are the owner). If they do not, then you are likely dealing with a situation that would be considered abandonment – particularly if the rent was not paid. I’ve attached the link below from our website to material that addresses the issue of abandoned belongings, please review to determine which situation would apply in your case https://landlordselfhelp.com/media/2024-Tenant-Belongings.pdf
