A: Evictions must be filed in court, otherwise you may sue for wrongful eviction. At least 30 days notice is required, and maybe more depending on the lease term. More details are necessary to provide a professional analysis of your issue. The best first step is an Initial Consultation with an Attorney. You can read more about me, my credentials, awards, honors, testimonials, and media appearances/ publications on my law practice website, www.AEesq.com. I practice law in CA, NY, MA, and DC in the following areas of law: Business & Contracts, Criminal Defense, Divorce & Child Custody, and Education Law.

A: Since it sounds like you were living there for a while as opposed to an overnight guest, etc., the eviction process with notice should be given. Withholding property is improper, too. More facts are required to provide a thorough analysis. Consult with a local lawyer.
