No this is not legal. The tenants emergency contact has 14 days to come and remove the belongings after that then Property Management will have possession of anything left behind. Maintenance needs to be counseled for their actions.

I am not sure if the deceased tenant had any emergency contacts. However, I know he had a caregiver that came to his apt.
