If you sell her stuff, you'll probably wind up having to pay her that money in court. And if you don't have a contract with her for storage fees, you probably can't collect on that. But if you put that mess on the curb and it gets picked up by the garbage man, you should be fine. This is all according to the insane number of Judge Judy episodes I've seen. And like others have said, give her at least 30 days and do it in writing/email/text/etc.
I saw that once on a judge show. A roommate left after a dispute. The remaining two gathered their possessions and put it in the game, then sent the ex messages saying they had three days to claim it or it would be put on the curb. Which is what happened. The ex filed suit. The TV judge asked the ex-roommate if he received the message. He said he did, but never replied. The judge ruled it was his fault for not claiming his stuff.
