Get rid of the geuinea pigs. Send him a text saying come get them today or tomorrow they will have a new home. You are not his standby content to pick up the inconvenient pieces of his life.
You cannot really throw out his belongings so just let them sit in the garage. If you absolutely MUST get rid of his stuff then at the most, you can stick them in a mini warehouse and pay the first month. Give him the key and location and let him know that the next months are on him. Do not be a doormat. But if you can live with the stuff in the garage then just leave it.
