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.
