[WSBAPT] Deceased tenant with no family

[Kameron Cayce]

Listmates, I have a client that owns an apartment house. Long term tenant (20 years) has died. Client knows of no family members and has gone through his paperwork and found no will or any indication of any family members at all. Assets total a few hundred dollars in a bank account, an old truck worth maybe $500 and no other assets. Is anyone aware of any obligation on the part of landlord to do anything regarding storing of the belongings which have virtually no value. My inclination is to tell him to clean the place out, dump the junk and re-rent the unit but before giving that advice I wanted to run it by some of the wiser minds on this list. Any insight is appreciated.
