If you have established residency, a person may not be evicted without court assistance. As tot eh belongins, the party in control of the premises, may not dispose of items of value without reasonable notice to the owner. You may have established residency to the extent taht you coudl nto just be kicked out. The mother's letter may have sufficed as adequate notice to remove your belongings before they are thrown out. If you wish to pursue this matter, you will need to consult directly with an attorney in your area, who has access to more of the facts of your particular situation. Many attorneys offer a free or low cost initial consulation.

Good luck
