If the Ts left no forwarding address, you need to send any letters to their "last known address", which is YOUR rental property. Then, IF the T wants to receive any mail, they would need to put in a change of address with the US Post Office. If they don't put in for that change, any letters you send to them should eventually come back to you, as undelivered mail. I always send 2 letters, one by regular mail, and one by certified mail. No one is required to sign for the certified mail if they don't want to, so that piece of mail may come back to you. You then keep it unopened and save it to show a judge in the future, if you ever have to show you tried to communicate with the T. And, no, you don't need to list EVERY item. Larger furniture items and one of a kind items, yes. Other smaller items, you can just say xx number of boxes/bags of miscellaneous clothing/kitchen/closet items. Take pics of the way they left things, before you start cleaning the place up.
