Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California

Eviction

If you have lived in a resident for at least 2yrs, & The landlord that gave you permission to babysit this place for exchange for rent and never wrote out a rental agreemet, then here come some other landlords 1in ahalf years later aand evicted you illegally. By not getting a legal eviction. Does it matter if the 1st landlord didn't give a lease or a rental agreement.? Can the new land lord just put me out with no paper work and throw all of my clothes and furniture in the trash?

Re: Eviction

No landlord can evict you without proper written notice and an unlawful detainer lawsuit which proceeds to judgment. A tenant's personal property may not be disposed of without a proper Notice of Abandoned Property. However, these notices are often served at the property, and if you don't timely respond to them eviction may result by default judgment. And, in the case of your personal property, if you don't leave a forwarding address, the landlord may be able to proceed after the statutory time elapses and throw out your property which has a market value of under $300. by the landlord's estimate.
