hello, last thursday I was illegally evicted from my apartment. I owed late fees only totalling $1000. I never received a notice from my landlord for court and planned to pay the balance Friday. My mother had pulled up and saw when they first started taking my things out. There was no sheriff there. The apt maintenance crew packed my stuff. Several of my items were taken by them before they started throwing my stuff out. TV's DVD players, DVD's. my daughters dresser with all of her clothes in it. my dinning room table and chairs, my make-up kit and most of my coats and jackets. Also jewelry and all of my business documents (birth certificate, checkbook, rental receipts) are all missing. My neighbor upstairs said she saw one of the maint guys taking my tv out before they started the eviction. I also have a picture of my dining set in maint. storage, they wont return it. The landlord couldnt show me an eviction notice when I went to the office. Do I legally have grounds to sue them?
