You can only sell the property when it is deemed "abandoned". The only way to do so is to send them a letter via CRR to their last known address. If that address is your rental place, send it there. The letter must state they have 30-days to retreive their property or your will deem it "abandoned" and will dispose of it as you see fit. You cannot sell it until you give them a chance to retrieve. If at the end of 30-days notice, send them another letter via CRR stating your intentions of selling the property since they failed to contact you. If the letters are returned unopened, DO NOT OPEN them, as they are evidence of your attempt to contact them. A judge will want to see them should the former tenants sue you for selling the items.
