I own a manufactured home that was on the rented piece of property. I was given the 30 day no cause eviction and that the hearing the judge issued a permanent writ of restitution. The landlord came and changed the locks on my house and locked me out of my own house since the writ of restitution and my being locked out by the sheriff's, I have continued to pay rent every month in the landlord has accepted it. They say they're charging me storage now instead of lot rent but they're not providing me access to my property to get it off the lot. Is that legal? Is it legal for them to be pilfering through my belongings and taking what they want well they're taking my money to store it

What proper procedures have to be followed for the storage fees? Do they need to give us an agreement to sign? Do they need to provide us access to our things to get them off of their lot? Could they file a motion for us abandoning our property with the court so they can dispose of it when they're accepting rent?
