A Notice of Abandoned Personal Property typically includes information about what was abandoned, the time frame in which the tenant can still retrieve their items, as well as a legal disclaimer that the landlord may dispose of the property if its not claimed within the specified deadline.
Importantly, California law allows for reclamation. If a rightful owner or heir emerges within a specific statutory period, they can petition the state for the return of the escheated property by providing sufficient proof of ownership.
In California, personal property is considered abandoned after the landlord sends an official notice and 18 days have passed. Landlords must inventory these items, notify the tenant, and store them securely.
NOTE: This form is used by a residential property manager or landlord when a tenant has vacated the premises and left personal property behind, to advise the tenant the personal property will be discarded if not reclaimed by the tenant by paying the cost of removal and storage.
At common law, a person who finds abandoned property may claim it. To do so, the finder must take definite steps to show their claim. For example, a finder might claim an abandoned piece of furniture by taking it to their house, or putting a sign on it indicating their ownership.
