Can A Land Lord Steal A Tenant's Personal Property During Eviction?
I owned a mobile home in a trailer park-the land lord/agent locked me out of my house,stole all my stuff in the house,them took a bulldozer and crushed my house,without an eviction notice or hearing.

This is simply outrageous. The landlord or the agent cannot damage your property or belongings in any way. Including stealing which is a crime by itself. You can complain against this incident to the police.

You should have been given notice and/or 30 days to vacate the property. As far as stealing your personal items you should called the police and reported all your items stolen. Have a itemized list of everything that was taken and destroyed and make sure that this itemized list is included in the police report. Also have a copy of your lease or rental agreement. Get a copy of your utility bills. This way it will show that you lived there. Armed with all of that you should be able to make a good case at small claims court.

Boy do I know what you feel like, My landlord is the she devil... Her and her nephew entered my trailer when ever they felt like it...even when I was home & not dressed. I am in the process of moving, but go there after work to find my kids' stuff all over out side, they've gone through packed boxes of mine that I haven't had room to grab. I did call the cops but they said with out proof that she taken anything there isn't nothing I can do! It just isn't right...this has been a experience I will never forget! I wish you luck...I have found a decent place to rent for now, but I do know when my lease is up at this new place I will be buying my own I am so done with the renting thing! So once again good luck to you...PS. I am sure you will get more done about your situation than I could with mine, I live in North Dakota where it seems to defend your rights just doesn't exist, nobody knows who you need to talk to, but they suggest you talk to a lawyer...I wonder if they tell all people who get their stuff stolen that line...or maybe it's not a crime to steal in ND? Sorry for rambling...I get this way when I'm frustrated...
I just found out yesterday that she let the neighborhood take what ever they wanted, just opened the door and said help yourself! And of coarse I called the police again and all they said again is "it is a civil mater" What is wrong with this picture!!!
