Q: What happens when a landlord breaks a lease
I have a year lease with my landlord and he sent me a text message saying i had 30 days to get out and to get out asap for maximum refund of my money. He also last night took everything out of the shop which was storage for 90 % of my property and put it out at the street. I found this out when i came home from work and saw there were people in it taking my stuff. So all my belongings are gone and im evicted through a text message and the lease has 5 more months
A: You need to see a landlord-tenant attorney immediately. What you describe is unlawful and likely entitles you to damages from the landlord. Document everything as best as you can (pictures - lots of pictures) and see an attorney now. Good luck.
