the landlord is gaining legal "possession" of the property through the courts, so you don't come back later and claim he did something wrong.

Were you in communication with the landlord regarding your moving?

No, he posted the home with a 30 day notice to quit. unless i vacate the property and my posessions ( which i did) on or before the date of September 28th, he would proceeed with filing a landlord/tenant complaint with the local magistrate. i moved out, took my posessions, left a key.

You did not pay the late fee. By not paying the late fee you were delinquent with the rent because you did not make a full payment.

my question was were you in communication with the landlord to coordinate your leaving? if you just moved out, he's got no way of knowing that. you need to formalize it in writing. If you just moved and said or signed nothing, he doesn't have legal possession.

He posted a notice to the house stating that if were not out by September 28th he would evict. So I moved. I can't make it any simpler- he told me I had to go.Why would I notify him?

Since you did not return the keys to the property and sign any exit paperwork with the Landlord, legally you still have possession of the property. Leaving the keys in the house is not the same as giving them to the Landlord. As long as the Landlord doesn't have the keys the "rent-meter" is running. This is rental property, not a motel/hotel room. The laws are different. The Landlord can not enter and remove anything left behind. The Landlord has no choice but to file in court in order to gain possession. If it were me I would contact the Landlord and see what else needs to be done.
