You need to make reasonable efforts at returning his items to him. You are the "bailee" and need to take care of his stuff in the meantime. If you don't have room for his items, you can store his stuff in a storage facility and demand he pay you back the fee for storing his items. I'm sure exactly why your divorce isn't finalized if he left the house 2 years ago.
Best of luck.
