If the lease did not originally required it, the next section you have to look at are amendments and notice. Is there a section in your lease that allows the landlord to amend the lease with notice.

Does landlord have the right to refuse tenant access to their personnel property on front yard and convert property to their own?
In short, no
The landlord must put the property in a location where the tenant can get it
A breach of contract has a long statute of limitations. So, three years is not too long.
Whether they have a valid legal claim is another thing.
The landlord must put your things out so you can get them on the day of the eviction. Failure to do so means he has converted your property. Yes, you can sue.
They have had pest control come out but he isn't using proper chemicals for German Roaches. I had to throw out my microwave because a nest was in it, what are my options and rights
You can sue the landlord in Superior Court to force a repair (AKA extermination of the roaches) and obtain damages for failure to repair. If you live in a rental house, you also have the option of informing the landlord that you intend to repair the situation yourself by hiring your own licensed... Read more »

There is a new Georgia law that protects tenants for being kicked out simply because they complain of a health and safety problem with the rental property.

Read more »
You received some type of statement from your landlord. What did your landlord say about ending your lease?
The time to challenge the early termination was before you moved.
Now that you moved, it is questionable if you can sue him for breach of contract.
As far as your... Read more »

Normally, when the landlord makes the fatal mistake of not adding "all others" to the dispossessory affidavit, the sheriff's office will not approve the removal of possessions from the house if someone objects.
Everyone else can file to stop the eviction or contact the sheriff's office... Read more »
