if when you move to an apartment there are some things left by a previous foreign teacher, they dont belong to the school, do you think its okay to take these things if you get another job or should they be left at the apartment?

I would say left in the apartment if someone is arriving for the first time, having a few things already in the apartment makes a huge difference to someone new.

Thats true, but if you know that other foreign teachers at your school would take the things if you left them anyhow?

Depends on what they are.

Books - take what you want!
Bed - nope leave for next new teacher.
Kitchen Utensils - take what is good but leave the bare essentials for the new teacher - aka a few spoons, forks, bowls, cups, a pot or two.

Also it depends on what the school knows is being left behind. If the school knows that there is a TV before you came they will probally want you to keep it at the apartment.
