My Previous Tenant Left His Personal Property Behind…What Do I Do?

Jack has been a long time tenant of residential property owned by Jill.  Over the years Jack has accumulated a lot of personal property and could be considered by some to be a rat pack.  Unfortunately Jack loses his job and can no longer afford the rent.  Unable to pay the rent, Jill is forced to file a lawsuit to evict Jack from the premises.  After Jack moves out Jill goes to the property to change the locks and re-take possession.  To her surprise, Jack did not remove all of his possession from the property. With new tenants expected to rent the property in a few weeks, what does Jill do with Jack’s possessions?
