And if they don't provide me with a forwarding address or any other address, I should mail it here and rely on the post office to forward it to them?

And do you really expect me to pay for a storage unit for this stuff when I know they're not going to claim it?
How do I avoid wasting that money?

If you intend to remain a landlord in West Virginia, you have to follow the law. That law says you have to store it for between 30-60 days. If you do not do this, then you have broken the law and the tenant can sue you, the courts can punish you. If you cannot do the way the law says, then quit being a landlord.

Yes. The state legislatures around the country are the ones who make their state's LL/T laws. They have known for decades that some people don't want to be found (for whatever reason), and don't give their forwarding to anyone (especially people or entities they owe money to.) Yet they know they must provide some kind of reasonable way for LLs to try to communicate with the T, even if he/she can't be found. They have chosen the US postal service as the most reliable entity to do that. By writing letters to someone, of which may end up getting returned to you if they can't be delivered, is an accepted legal way to show a judge in the future that you at least tried to get in touch with the T.
