Re: eviction
The landlord cannot gain possession of personal property by eviction (some property can be levied on as part of a money judgment). The only sure method of disposal is to have alicensed mover/warehouse remove the property to storage (LL paying move-out and 1 month storage). A warehouse can auction goods for unpaid storage (approx. 3 months later). If the LL takes goods, he can be subject to triple the value in damages but any unpaid rents will likely be claimed to offset.
