Yup, wait for the decision. You?ll probably win anyway.

Just a thought: where would the landlord put all the stuff? In the backyard? He?ll just ruin them plus, he?ll just be wasting a lot of effort in moving. So if I were him, I?d just wait for the eviction to be over. Anyway, an evicted tenant would have the next 5 or more years to feel the full impact of his financial irresponsibility.

Yes, I agree that the landlord will be in violation of the law if he removes furniture before the eviction process is closed. So if he shows up at your door, you have the right to refuse him entry. If he insists, you can call the police.

This is why I stopped being a landlord. I just think the laws are two when fair because they are more inclined towards the benefit of the renter. What about the landlords? We are spending on mortgage and in keeping the apartment complex in prime condition and yet, you are living there rent-free until your eviction case is decided. That?s very unfair.

Remember the golden rule? Do not do and to others would you do not want others to do unto you. This is the perfect example of that.

Maybe if you try harder, you can come up with the rent money. Can?t you pawn your stuff? Can?t you offer to do some work for your landlord? I think you?re just too lazy to try to fulfill your end of the agreement. And now that your landlord is also beginning to not fulfill his end of the agreement, you?re acting like a wounded victim.

I think you should develop a sense of guilt because obviously, you don?t have that. And maybe by removing the furniture, your landlord is trying to tell you that he can do to you what you?re doing to him. You?re denying him of his rent money and so he should also deny you of the privileges of having all those pieces of furniture and appliances. He can?t lock you out, so he?ll just get even with you this way.

I think there is something seriously wrong here. The tenant can stop paying rent and live there for a couple of weeks or months until the case reaches a resolution. On the other hand, a landlord cannot do anything because if he does, the cops will be called in and legal matters will be done. Don?t you think it?s just too when fair?

Well I think it?s your right to file a complaint. With your landlord is doing is complete the wrong because technically and legally, you are still a tenant. Therefore, the tenant ?landlord laws will still apply. So your landlord still has to provide you with a habitable environment.

You?re crazy. You have an eviction case filed against you and your more concerned on the furniture. Do you have any idea of the possible implications of an eviction would have on your credit score and your life?
