Be very careful with touching any of the ex-tenant's belongings they left in the yard. You do NOT want them to come after you saying that you moved their stuff out of the house or out on the street, because it could get really, really ugly.
DOCUMENT EVERYTHING, and remember that you usually have to hold their stuff 30 days before you can discard or destroy it.

Good luck on the cleanup, and take care!

Whoops, I just checkd the state's Landlord-Tennant Act and not only do you have to hole their abandoned property in safe storage for a minimum of 45 days before you can get rid of it (assuming the total value is over $50, and it probably is), you have to notify them by mail, etc.

If they did not leave a forwarding address with the landlord the landlord must mail the notice that their abandoned belongings will be sold in 45 days to their last known address so the post office can forward the letter to a new address if they have it.
(If it just ends up coming to the landlord's property, SAVE THE MAIL without opening as proof that the notice requirement was attempted.)

Yeah, animals just do what they do, people do it on purpose.
Sounds like you have a real job on your hands, there.
So long as you are doing that much of a tear-out, make SURE you get ALL the mold, too.
(Means you will probably have to treat outside, too?)

Sorry, had to point that out. I could care less either way. Don't hate me
Anyways, tenants like that are the reason why I wont be buying property to rent out. In most cases it's a headache and the state's laws are unfair to both tenant and landlord.
