My landlord came into my house while I was not home and had someone put all my belongings in a pile in the front yard
Hi ****, sorry to hear about your situation. Your landlord's actions may potentially breach privacy and tenancy rights. Can you please let me know your location to provide more accurate information?

Hello ****,
Based on your location, your landlord may have violated California Civil Code Section *. This law restricts landlords from entering a rental property unless:
- There's an emergency.
- They're making necessary or agreed repairs.
- Showing the property to prospective tenants or buyers.
- Court order is present.
If none of these conditions were met, consider seeking local legal aid.
