In the overwhelming majority of the 37 states that we researched, a landlord may dispose of personal property that a tenant leaves in dwelling units by selling it after first notifying the tenant of his intent and storing the property for a period prior to the sale. Colorado is the only state we identified where landlords have no duty to store property that tenants leave behind. Connecticut, Virginia, and Washington are the only states that we found that permit tenants' property to be placed on a street, sidewalk, or other public property.
一般只要满足(1) 通知 (2) 暂时存储的要求后，房东可以丢弃或者变卖。
Common sense，房客死后，应通知应急联系人。满足州法存储条件后，房东可以自行处理。
当然有些州没有任何要求，但是前提也是要证明房客确实丢弃。
