Diary of an Addict

Is she dead or alive?

Yeah I was under the impression she was dead.

Any property left behind after a tenant willingly turns in their own keys is forfeit. She abandoned any rights to it- the question is why.

I don't know how it is in other states, but in Florida that is explicitly the law. When the tenant surrenders or abandons the property, any and all personal possessions are up to the homeowner as to what or do with.

To respond to the OP

Her story is both very tragic and common when it comes to drug users. I've rented houses out to people who've sold everything they had just for their next fix, didn't pay their rent or feed their kids, and got evicted and have the kids taken away by a family members. Its awful and sad and really hard to deal with, not just from the emotional damage done by the addict to his family members, but the monetary damages as well (unpaid rent, items needing to be removed or packed up and taken by the family, clean up to the house, court costs to get the kids, etc..)

It's a bloody fucking mess.

Reading her notes, she sounds trapped and I get the feelings she understands the destruction the drugs are having on her life but she can't do anything about it. It's sad.
