Legal help? (Not Really, but kind of)

Some know that my house flooded again, and I moved. It's been about 2 weeks since I got my new place, and still have no had the time nor resources to pick up everything from the old place. My landlord calls me up today, and leaves me a message saying, "If you don't have your stuff out of the place by tomorrow at noon it's going in the dumpster." I call him up to make sure what was said was true, because it was 'Relayed' from the apartment manager, to my girlfriend and then to me. I ask him if what I heard was true, he said he has to get in there and get shit done. Says, 'I've only showed you my good side, but I'm about to show you my bad side'. I call the county Sheriff's department to see if he can legally do anything, I talk to a deputy, and he says there is nothing he can do, since I am willingly moving out on my own, and he hasn't given a formal eviction. About an hour later, I get another call from the landlord, 'When will you be able to get your stuff out by?' I say, 'I honestly have no idea, I'm trying to find a truck and trailer I can use so I can get everything out at once.' He says, 'It better be out by noon tomorrow, or else it's going into the ****ing dumpster, you worthless piece of shit.' I get pissed off, and I'm ready to go up there. I figure that wouldn't be the best bet, legally. I call up the deputy I talked to earlier, and asked him what should be done. He asked for the landlords name, and phone number. Says he's going to call him and let him know he can not legally touch any of my belongings, until 30 days after a legal eviction notice has been handed to me by a Sheriff's deputy. I haven't heard anything since then. I'm wanting to know, if he does throw the stuff in the dumpster, what would be my options to make a civil lawsuit, or even press charges?

I have a year old daughter that can not be around the apartment because of black mold. I tried calling today on a vehicle that I can borrow, but the trailer I can use is only a 4.5x8'. Most of the things that are there, are larger, and some can't even fit on the trailer. I'm strapped on cash as it is. I've spent well over $2,000 the past week trying to get moved, and having money for work, babysitting, food, deposits, ect. ect. I have probably $75 for food, gas, and diapers that has to last me the next 2 weeks.

You have been moved two weeks, it only takes probably 3 hours max to move everything. I would just find a way to make it happen, personally I would be worried that he will toss it and if the cops call and tell him he can't toss it he will start to mess with your stuff like key your shit, take a dump in your dresser, break something, cut a hole in your mattress and **** your box spring over and over.

Thats just my .02 I have dealt with ******* landlords and he sounds like a prick so I would not doubt him tossing your shit. If anything I would probably go there and take pictures of your shit (with a date on a paper like you do in classifieds) so you have proof your stuff was in good condition should he start ****ing with your shit.

Trust me, I want to get out of there. With limited funds, and time, I don't really have any other option than to wait 2 weeks. I took pictures of what the house looked like, last time I went and picked up a few loads. It's taking way over 3 hours to pack and load all of my crap. The entertainment center weighs over 600Lbs, so I can't just pick it up and move it. I have to either take it apart and put it back together, or have a few people help me move it. I don't want to take it apart because of the floors being soaked still. The guy was nice when I told him I was moving, gave me a good reference and all. I talked to him the first day I started moving shit out, he was a little irritated, but not bad. Talked to him yesterday, when I got some more things. Was a dick to me. I had to drive a truck that wasn't even suppose to be driven, just to get some things. I told him I would clean the majority of it, but once I had the power disconnected, he got to be a major jackass. He openly admitted the house flooding was his fault. He was 'attempting' to dry out the outside of the walls from the first flood, 3 months ago. All I am wanting to know is if, he does in fact throw my stuff out, before the 30days after the eviction, would that be enough to file for a civil lawsuit? It won't take me that long to move out completely, and I won't drag it out that long. I'm attempted to give housing authority a call tomorrow, and the health department, and have the whole **** place condemned because of the black mold. He'll just spray bleach all over the walls, and let the walls stay soaked, instead of replacing them before the next tenant stays there.

in your other thread you mentioned the $2K loan from a family member plus you had 2 months of rent returned. you spent the $2K and have $75 left...what happened to the other rent money? why does your job not give you a day off to move? any weekend time? you already pay for child care and if you took a day off you could actually get shit done.
