What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Los Angeles County California

My Landlord told the cops I do not live there because I removed my suitcases and clothes from the room I was renting and put it in my car. The room is fully furnished so its livable, I just didn't trust leaving my stuff available for them to damage or steal while I went to the police station to figure out what I should do about my landlord evicting me without notice. I kept the key so I could get back in but they changed the locks.

So again my question is what defines "moving out"? Am I not legally allowed to keep everything in my car if I do not trust my room mates?

Thought it might be good since question changed

I use forums for research all the time and appreciate simplicity in threads and resolved answers which is why I started a new thread. Hopefully someone appreciates this in the future.

And this is the Law:
California Civil Code Section 1951.3

Your kind of research is not the same as researching a particular legal case. Every question is relevant to the total picture, so no, we do not appreciate that now and will not appreciate that in the future. If you want accurate legal advice keep everything to one thread.

Forums have TOS. Follow them. To do otherwise is rude.

It is not acceptable to say, "But everywhere else I...."

When in Rome, do as the Romans. When in London, drive on the left side of the road.
