More details to this question:
Four years ago, I let a friend store a great deal of personal property in my garage for free. I did it as a favor, as he had to downsize and had no money for storage fees. I'm planning on renting my house, and I need the garage cleared. He won't move his stuff. It's not technically abandoned, as he periodically drops by to take small odds and ends. He just won't move the bulk of it. What recourse do I have?

Give him a 60 day notice that you are ending his usage of the property. If any of the items are illegal, you can give a three day notice for that. Tell him that you are going to start charging rent and if it does not pick everything up within 60 days you will sell what has value and dispose of the rest, giving him what you could sell the items for less all of your costs to remove all the items.
