A few months back, I had talked to a landlord about fixing up his house in exchange for six months of free rent. He signed a contract agreeing that he would let me have the house, and I fixed it up and made it livable.
Okay, here's the situation. I had six months, and it was to end in September when I was to start paying rent. Here it is early August, and I came home from out of state to every bit of my belongings out on the porch, and it's been raining a lot here lately. The porch is barely covered, and my stuff is ruined. I had irreplaceable pictures, and letters from my deceased father that I can never get back. They threw my brand new white rug/carpet into the front yard in the mud. It's ruined. They threw my couches out into the mud, and they're ruined as well. I had one of my travel bags inside that had cameras inside of it. They got wet, and my expensive cameras are now unusable as well. Honestly, every bit of everything that I own is ruined.
They went into my house, while under contract, without my knowledge and consent, and threw my stuff out and ruined it, tore up the carpet that I put down, and just wrecked it.
I have possibly lost at least $1000/2000 of my things, and priceless family memorabilia. Are they liable for this? Can I sue them for destruction of my property? We've been having some problems with the people that the landlord works with, and this is what happens. The landlord and my ex-boss are the people responsible for this.
Please let me know what legal action can be taken in this matter.
Thank you!
