Property with a total estimated value of not more than two thousand five hundred dollars
which is left on the premises of a leased dwelling may be retained by the lessor and disposed of
without legal process twenty-eight or more days after the lessor received actual notice that the
lessee has vacated the premises or twenty-eight or more days after it reasonably appears to the
lessor that the lessee has vacated the premises. The lessor is entitled to the proceeds from the
sale of the property. The lessor may recover, from the lessee's security deposit, any storage and
moving expenses in excess of the proceeds from the sale incurred in disposing of the property.
If the lessor removes the abandoned property from the dwelling unit after a judgment of eviction
has been obtained and the special execution has been served, the lessor has a lien upon the
property for the reasonable amount of any storage and moving expenses and may retain
possession of the property until the charges have been paid. The lien does not have priority
over a prior perfected security interest in the property.
