While I was out of the country for a 1 1/2 months my landlord's brother was occupying my space with his friends. When my girlfriend checked in one time to get the mail she found a pillow that wasn't ours and other toilettries there. When I finally arrived back home I found my window was wide open and my air conditioning was gone. I looked outside the house and found it installed in my landlords part of the house. They had gone through my closet and taken out towels and pillows to sleep on. When I confronted my landlord he blatlently lied to my face saying he did not know where I was for the past month and that I did not put it in writing i was leaving. He wanted this months rent now or I would be evicted by the end of this month. I had told him and his whole family I was leaving and I even talked to them about paying the rent when I came back for the last month, and if there was a problem and they needed it earlier they could contact my girlfriend to recieve it. What are my rights?
Additional Details
I was planning to pay for the months I was away. I had left in the month of July and paid for that month. I informed the brother of the landlord( who I had originally signed the lease with , but then renewed when the landlord said he was the real owner) that I would pay August rent when I returned and if there was a problem and they needed the rent earlier I would wire the money to my girlfriend. The brother had said that there was no problem at all. But how am I suppose to pay for rent in August when they violated my privacy and used the space themselves.
