He broke the law! There is a bill that protects renters from actions of landlords such as this. I accountered a simular problem with my former landord locking me out and holding my son's items til she was done screwing me over(so she thought) I found out it was ilegal fo her to 1) lock me out and 2) hold possesions. I was moving out and before I could finish she decided to go in and look everything over and then decided that she would hire a contractor to evaluate the cost of anything needing repair,painting, floors refinished ,you name it. These damages were there prior to me moving in ( 90 year old duplex) broken pipes(terrible situation) So i decided to move and she decided she wanted to remodel at my cost. She said when I pay for the contractor to do all the work and another month's rent along with keeping my security deposit, then I can go in and have my little boy's things. Well quess what?! She is theone that got screwed. She broke the law by locking and holding my things.
Your landord has no right to touch your belongings and withhold them. Don't bother asking police for help. They might tell you its a civil suit like mine did. Instead get a free consultation with a lawyer. The lawyer can write a letter to your landlord stating the law and reguiring him to return your things before legal action is taken. (normally the letter is free of cost) Either way it's worth it. |

Well it al depends on what your rental agreement was. What does it say in your lease? Usually they have to give you three days notice....either way I dont think it is legal for u to have to pay to get your things!!! You should have called the cops immediatley!!!!!!! AND SHOULD NOT HAVE GAVE HIM THE MONEY. I mean was that the other half of the rent, $300.
U should call the cops now, for them to get your money back. If u cant live there then u shouldnt have had to pay him. SERIOUSLY SEEK SOME LEGAL ADVICE! THE SOONER THE BETTER! good luck |

it does'nt work that way honey. go to a local attorney and tell him or her your story w/ documentation both written and oral. your landlord will probably wish he hadn't done that. maybe even criminal treaspassing. |

Sounds like he jumped the gun - unless you have a history of being excessively late with the rent. It all depends on the laws in your area. Do some homework. |

I know there are some differences in landlord-tenant laws in different states, but I bet you a cookie this was illegal. When I was renting, I got a wonderful "Tenants' Rights" book (California) that gave me all the help I needed without any legal advice. I think it is the "norm" to give a 30 day notice, by mail, or posted on the door! & under no circumstances do I believe someone can take your property "hostage" (unless you've left it so long, the law considers it abandoned). Obviously, you didn't do that. I wonder if the $300. was equal to what was owed him? Not that even that should matter. MANY people assume they can hold someone's property if that person owes them, but it's not at all true. I think it's too late to research your state laws now--sorry. What a bummer. |

Who's name is on the contract? Yours or your roomate's? Maybe your roomate didn't tell you the whole story? Were they notified of the evicition and too embarressed to tell you?
Get the whole story before you decide your course of action. |

No matter what he has to give you thirty days notice before you have to move out. |

You didn't have to leave without a court order, no matter what the landlord said. And not having a lease does not matter. A tenancy without a lease is still valid.
You should have immediately gone to court and asked for an emergent hearing called an order to show cause to gain re-entry and get your stuff back without cost. If your landlord did not produce every last thing you own right then and there for free, he would have been arrested.
It would be worth it for you to pursue this. Make an appointment with a landlord/tenant attorney in your area and tell them you were the victim of a self-help eviction and that your belongings were removed and your landlord extorted money from you for their return.
Your landlord had no right to do this, and you really should pursue this legally. Make sure none of your stuff is missing. If anything is, file a theft report with the police and have him arrested. |

if you are not on the lease, you have no rights. if you were on the lease, he would have had to file in court a notice that you were being given 5 (in my state, but it's typical) days to pay up or move. After the 5th day without payment, a court hearing must be held to evict. nothing can be removed from the property until then and rules govern how property may be removed.
i had a tenant move herself into a townhouse of mine that she liked better than the one she had a lease on. she wouldn't leave and trashed it. she had no lease so i took all her stuff out of it when she went to work and put it in the house she was renting. Then, i went to court and got her kicked out of my other property. When I did, I was told i had no right to remove her stuff from the house she didn't have a lease for - because I let her in that house at one time!!!! Utterly bizzare. |

It may have been illegal, but what are you going to do about it?
Hire an Attorney and sue him? |

Without a signed rental agreement, he is in the right. You owe the man, pay him and stop whining. |

Totally illegal. To evict you, he needs to go through the legal system which takes months. At no time is he legally allowed to enter the residence without your permission. |
