2. An asset management company may dispose of personal property abandoned on the premises of a residence in foreclosure or left on the premises after the eviction of a homeowner or a tenant of a homeowner without incurring civil or criminal liability in the following manner:
(a) The asset management company shall reasonably provide for the safe storage of the property for 30 days after the abandonment or eviction and may charge and collect the reasonable and actual costs of inventory, moving and storage before releasing the property to the homeowner or the tenant of the homeowner or his or her authorized representative rightfully claiming the property within that period. The asset management company is liable to the homeowner or the tenant of the homeowner only for the asset management company’s negligent or wrongful acts in storing the property.
(b) After the expiration of the 30-day period, the asset management company may dispose of the property and recover his or her reasonable costs from the property or the value thereof if the asset management company has made reasonable efforts to locate the homeowner or the tenant of the homeowner, has notified the homeowner or the tenant of the homeowner in writing of his or her intention to dispose of the property and 14 days have elapsed since the notice was given to the homeowner or the tenant of the homeowner. The notice must be mailed to the homeowner or the tenant of the homeowner at the present address of the homeowner or the tenant of the homeowner and, if that address is unknown, then at the last known address of the homeowner or the tenant of the homeowner.
(c) Vehicles must be disposed of in the manner provided in chapter 487 of NRS for abandoned vehicles.
