I came home to find my grill missing, and objects moved (TV, stereo, etc.) to make way for it. The leasing company says they had the right to do this, but I disagree. Who's right?

I am a landlord and I can tell you this much.
Each state has different rules that apply.
you have to read your lease agreement. Usually there is a 24 hr notice give prior to them setting foot inside your home. Even though you rent, its your home and they are not allowed in without, notice.
If the removal of your personal property was because of an immediate danger, then they do have the right to enter.
I would be mad as hell for illegal entry and illegal removal of your personal property without at least a notice of intent.
I dont just walk into someones home and remove junk,
1 its a hassel
2 most people do not pay attention to the specifics in the lease, but I still give 24 hr notice of intent. or just ask them to remove it or I will.
Now, if you dont pay rent, I dont care what the law says about that issue. I'll go in and throw your crap out on the street. Now its my property since you didnt pay.

They can enter your home for "emergency" reasons. Was the grill smoking? Have they returned the property? Otherwise that is theft and I would file a police report. They have no right to dispose of it or do anything with it other than give it back to you and ask that you not have it on the premises.
If there is no provisions stating that you couldn't have a grill, then they would also have a problem. You are entitled to "quiet enjoyment" of your leased property. If there are no lease provisions, then you could have a cause of action against them and they could be liable for the cost of you moving out, etc.
