AN ACT relating to abandoned property.

HB 239 amends Kentucky law to clarify landlords' responsibilities when tenants abandon personal property in rental units. The bill requires landlords to store such property, create a written inventory within 7 days of taking possession, and notify tenants via certified mail (to their last known address) and by posting a notice on the property for 7 days. If tenants make no effort to reclaim the property within 21 days, landlords may dispose of it. This directly affects landlords and tenants in residential rental situations across Kentucky. The bill focuses on procedural requirements for handling abandoned property, not on new financial penalties or tenant protections.
