What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
I live in San Bernardino County and was evicted on Feb 24, 2010 at 6:01am. My husband and I were home and woke up to to the sheriff's knocking outside our bedroom door. I remember the sheriff specifically saying "we have 15 days" several times to get our property out of the house. The landlord spoke in front of the sheriff stating I could call her all the way up to this Saturday by 9am to start getting our stuff out.
Today (2 days later) I emailed the landlord stating my mom is hiring packers and movers and asked if 3-1-10 and 3-2-10 would be ok if we pack up and clean up the house. I received an email from the landlord stating all of our belongings are no longer in the house that they've been moved into the garage and storage shed that is partically covered and leaks.
My questions are:
Googling all night shows the landlord cannot personally touch our property, they'd have to hire some 3rd party company. Is this true or can they do it themselves.
They've broken several things because they're outside ont he curb for the trash pick up. TV, Lamps, coffee table, etc.
Googling also says (this is where i got confused) that if the landlord DOES move the property on or off premises they must do so with such "care" which i'm sure is the grey area of the law that I need spelled out for a 3rd grader to comprehend.
IMO, If she said in front of me, husband, and sheriff that I have until Sat, then my property shouldn't of been moved. We're talking about a 4bd house with lots of expensive electronics and such. Recaping, I emailed her 2 days after sheriff had us leave premises.
Did she break any laws?
