More details to this question:
There are three of us on the lease. One person left with no notice and has not paid rent since he left. He also left 10 bags of his clothing and other items behind. He has told us he refuses to pay for the seen months remaining on the lease or come and get his belongings. How long do I need to keep his belongings and how can we get him to pay the rent that he owes?

As a general rule you won't. Sure you can waste more money filing a smal claims action but generally collecting actual money is not cost efficient.
