I can't argue the tenant's side of things, because I have never (thankfully, *knock*) been in that situation. When a roommate of mine was in this situation (Full Disclosure, Im in Ontario, Canada, ymmv), our landlord told myself and my wife that after 60 days it was the landlord's property, and if we wanted the room back, all we had to do was deal with the crap in the room.
Got myself a DS >_>
Really sucks to be the guy on losing end though, and for what it is worth, it doesn't seem (or I couldn't find) any ebay auctions under the user name.
