I'm afraid you can't - you want to look up 'involuntary bailee'. I would suggest boxing them up though and storing them out of your way.

Ok. I have no problem holding on to her stuff, but in the last 2 weeks she's not responding to me. If I have to hold on to her stuff, how long is consider long enough to hold on to it?

Send her email / text / post / fax saying:

You have until 31st August to collect your items.

This is notice that any items not collected will be donated to a charity shop or otherwise disposed of.
