Well my fiance died in July and his parents kicked me out in August without a eviction notice and I've been living there for 9 years and the mom told me to get my stuff but no rush so when I went there to get some of my stuff his mom told me if don't get the rest of my stuff by Thanksgiving they will throw my stuff in the dump and it was a verbal warning not written one. And I'm having trouble getting my stuff bc I don't have a license or anyone that can help me. And I don't want to get the police involved because then that will make them really mad and throw my stuff out what should I do
