If a tenant abandons a property without notice he is in violation of the lease, and the landlord can sue and/or keep the security deposit. The tenant may also be responsible for the rent of the unit during any time the unit is unoccupied during the remainder of the time of the lease.

If a tenant left property behind after returning keys to the house does the landlord have to return the items- Can the items be sold or thrown out?

"It depends". If the tenant just locked the doors and left at the end of a lease, gave you the keys, and said nothing about the items, the facts say the tenant intentionally abandoned the items and you can do with them what you want unless your state law says otherwise. If the tenant said anything, that's different. If the lease is not over and the tenant is expected back, that may also be different. You state may have specific laws about abandoned property too.

Can you return a security deposit and not accept the tenant even if you have accepted some rent?

Once you, the landlord, have accepted a tenant by handing him the keys, then the tenant has legal possession of the property. If the lease was mutually signed and the keys were handed to the tenant, then you must wait until the lease expires and give at least 30 days notice that you will not renew the lease before asking the tenant to leave. Landlord and tenant laws are designed to protect both the landlord and the tenant. If the tenant does not violate the terms of the lease once it has been mutually signed and the property turned over to the tenant, then he has the legal right - as long as he pays his rent on time - to remain on the property. If he violates the terms of the lease at any time, you can seek legal remedy to correct the violations or to remove the tenant.
