Re: Selling of property
Assuming that the only items which remain in the storage unit are those belonging to this remiss family member then any right to claim and sell them for nonpayment of rent would likely belong to the owner of the storage unit rather than you.
(Of course, you could always send this relative a written notice letting him know that if he doesn't come and get the stuff by a date certain, it will likely be disposed of by some person one way or the other.)
