When a tenant leaves behind personal possessions, the landlord is required to safely store the tenant’s belongings either in the rental unit or in another secure location and provide a written inventory of the belongings, along with printed photographs to the Residential Tenancies Office as well as to the tenant, if the landlord can locate the tenant. The landlord is required to obtain approval from the Residential Tenancies Office before disposing or selling any abandoned personal property.
