You violated the law, and no attorney is going to touch your case. What money is in it for the attorney? You aren't going to win anything in court.

You do nothing with the items in storage, because they shouldn't even be there in the first place. Regardless of whether you feel shame or not, you didn't follow the law on how evictions should be handled, and you enacted an illegal eviction (lockout).

If you want this situation to be over, why don't you try cash for keys. Give her back her security and end the lease without evicting her. Be done from it and learn from your mistakes.

So I just pay for the items to sit there? For how long? She already got 3 months of free rent from me so I'm not giving her any cash. Illegal lockouts give a minimum of $250 fine plus a daily rate of how long the tenant didn't have access to the property. She got access the same night and her items the next day. Should I have moved her things? Of course I shouldn't have. This is the first time I've done this. I got upset because she was bragging about how she would stay there for years for free and she doesn't know who she's messing with. Did I let my temper get the best of me? Sure. I offered her 3 weeks to move and she didn't take it so I'm going forward with the eviction.
