Unless there is a statute imposing punitive damages, such a suit for using your car would bring you pennies, at least, so it probably wouldn't be worth your time and expense. Also, the body shop might well contend that it was necessary to see... View More

There is no notice required in an unlawful detainer action. As soon as the homeowner passed away, you had no legal right to remain in the house. You've lived rent free for 4-5 months. Pack up your stuff and leave, because you have no apparent legal defenses based on your post.
