In Mississippi, landlords must follow eviction procedures. If property is abandoned, they have to send a notice to the tenant. It seems your landlord didn't follow protocol. Consult a local attorney for assistance. Here's the law:
- Landlord may dispose of property 30 days after notice.
- Notice must include storage costs and location.
- Tenant can claim property within 30 days.
