What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? You are getting yourself into some real problems. Unless the former lessee is given proper notice of your assignment as agent of the landlord your communications with the former lessee are meaningless. If you dispose of the property you become liable for the value to the former lessee and could actually be in jeopardy of criminal charges. A smart person would tell the landlord to deal with it themselves as it is their legal obligation.
Do you really think the landlord is going to defend you if the former lessee sues him. I suspect he will say something like; I didn't know you left anything there. The new lessees must have thrown your stuff out.
But hey, it's your ass on the line, not mine. You do whatever you want. I know what I wouldn't do though
