Q: IVE BEEN SERVED LESS THAN 24 HRS NOTICE TO VACATE THE LANDLORD SENT PEOPLE THAT TOOK MY MERCHANDISE
Nov '22 owner connects me with rent to owner from her and i sign a lease for commercial property, aug and sept he asks me to send rent direct to owner . nov i am told by ower that he is out and i need pay her. i ask for paperwork showing he is out and a lease agreement she sends lease but not termination proof i asked for proof and revisions in nov 2023. On December 28, she sent two men to the property, and they moved out approximately three trailers full of my merchandise from my outdoor area before we caught them, they drove off and police were informed. They caught them and some of my merchandise but not all. They were arrested . I did a police report and asked for her to also be charged for soliciting a burglary because they took my merchandise outside and broke in and took tools etc. Today she came to deliver a piece of paper, not signed or notarized, from an attorney, stating I had no agreement with her, I need to be out of the building by tomorrow. The letter dated dec 29
A: You didn't ask a specific question, but it sounds like you need to hire an attorney. In order for your landlord to force you out tomorrow legally, there would need to have been a lawsuit filed, a judgment entered, and action by the sheriff. My guess is that what you received is merely a communication that your landlord wants you to vacate. It sound's like she has already engaged in unlawful "self help" by trying to remove your possessions. Hire an attorney.
