We started moving in november but had to put a hold on things when my grandma got sick then passed away my old land lords gave us 2 days to hand the keys over which we did not have an eviction notice as we were moving and made them aware we decided to move. They changed the locks locking us out as then was told to gather our stuff outside which we couldnt becaue of the snow we were told they were going to make a copy of the keys so we could get out stuff nothing back from them. They said we can still get out stuff as we have been the last 2 months on the days that nice. They informed us they sold the house and the new owner sajd we could not go on the property to gsther the rest of our stuff outside which was the pool and we have not been able to get our stuff in the house
