Free Assured Periodic Tenancy Agreement (APT Rental Contract)

as an aside in relation to another thread today, here’s what it says about tenants leaving goods in the property:

9.43. When the tenancy lawfully ends, to remove all of their furniture and other goods from the Premises. The Tenant will be liable for damages to compensate the Landlord if the Tenant leaves items at the Premises which prevent the Landlord from making use of or re-letting the Premises, or if the Landlord incurs costs in relation to such items (for example, reasonable charges for removal or storage).

I’m surprised that there’s no mention of a time period nor that disposal will occur. Without a T agreeing to this up front, the LL remains open to a legal claim for disposing of goods at any point.
