Auctioning unit after termination

Terriermom

We have a tenant whose lease was terminated.  The final date for vacating was 8/20/24 and despite a couple of deadline extensions the unit was abandoned and not emptied.  I was informed that we could not auction and take any proceeds it has to be offered for free.  Does this make any sense?

I think that may depend on your state.  But if you simply go through the lien process since they have left and not paid, then you should be covered.
