If the property deposited with the Bailee is unclaimed for 30 days, then you notify the owner either personally or by mail that the property is subject to disposition.

No rent, no agreement. About two weeks ago, Husband threatened to kill client’s wife and was arrested and charged with felony harassment. There is a no-contact order prohibiting the Husband from going back to the property and contacting client. Wife and Child moved from the mobile home, and Wife was told by a sheriff’s deputy that she would be charged with trespassing if she went back to the property. Apparently, Husband and Wife left a lot of personal property in and around the mobile home and Client has heard that they don’t plan to get any of it. He wants to go ahead and get rid of it. Are there any notice requirements or procedure he needs to follow? I’m only familiar with what is set out in the RLTA but I don’t believe that applies here.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>If someone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Jennifer Johnson | Attorney<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Hanigan Law Office, PS<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>PO Box 39 - 68 Main Street<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>Cathlamet, WA 98612<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>(360) 795-3494<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'>(360) 795-3001 (f)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:red'>CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: </span><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>THIS EMAIL IS INTENDED TO BE A CONFIDENTIAL AND PRIVILEGED ATTORNEY-CLIENT COMMUNICATION. </span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:blue'>IF YOU ARE NOT THE INTENDED RECIPIENT OF THIS EMAIL, PLEASE DO NOT READ OR PRINT IT. </span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:navy'>This transmission is intended for the sole use of the individual and entity to whom it is addressed, and may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
