This is a bit tricky, I have been known to just call a unit like this abandoned and clean it out. But not before I take pictures of the unit and document it as much as I can. Autodoc is right though, you can't get sued if you follow the law to the letter. I have been known to go 56mph on the freeway though, so I'm the type that likes to live on the edge.

I don't think I'd have much problem with a 5x5 with one item in it. Pretty easy to document that there wasn't a Mona Lisa in there. I would think that the renter would have the burden to prove that there were items of value in there if it ever came to that.

Do you have demand for that space?
