Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
Back in june/july of 2013,my mother and I were kicked out of the man we were living ins house,after some violence at night.He threw a wine glass at her,then called the police,and they took her away.He then put a 7 day restraining order on her,and wouldn't let us get any of our stuff.He put everything that he wanted to put outside and said we could go pick that up,but he still has my mothers table,and chairs,and all of her baby photos of my sister and I.We were living in the house with him,and this wasn't the first time this happened.Before we were thrown out,she signed a renters contract,so we paid rent to him every month aswell.Doesnt that mean that he has to give us atleast a 3 day notice before legally getting us out?

You need to consult with an attorney in more detail. It is not clear whether you were leasing the entire place, or renting a room as a lodger.
