Don't go bonkers just yet. No one has said you need to go out and rent a large storage unit for $100/ month. That's only a last resort, and only if they left you a large amount of furniture or other stuff that you would need a garage stall to pack it all in floor to ceiling. Your first post 2 days ago only mentioned small, boxable items, that I said could be "stored" in a closet, basement, back of your garage, or in an attic. And even if YOU don't have room for them at your place, maybe you have a friend or relative who DOES have room. All LLs must make reasonable decisions based on the items that were left. "Storing" peoples things does not always mean you have to PAY to store them. But, if you do pay to store the items, most states allow you to charge those costs to the tenant. And if the T never comes to get them, most states allow you to sell the Ts items, to re-coup the storage costs you paid. That's what the "Storage Wars" that you've seen on TV the last few years are all about------selling peoples items once they quit paying to store them, to re-coup their loss of rents from that unit.
