Arkansas Abandoned property
What can a landlord do with property a tenant leaves behind in Arkansas?
When a lease ends, voluntarily or not, property left on the premises is considered abandoned and the landlord may dispose of it as the landlord sees fit, without recourse by the tenant; tenant property is also subject to a landlord's lien for sums owed.
