What can be done about the landlord who moves the new tenant's furniture into the apartment on the 25th and lets them move in on the 26th, with the rest of my stuff (boxes, lamps, fragile stuff that didn't go into the truck, etc.) that was still in the bedroom and the kitchen. I have items missing that the new tenants claim not to have seen. The landlord said "I thought you were going to be out by the 24th." I told her I was going to try to be out by then, but defintely the end of the month.

BTW... someone had gotten into the apartment about 2-2 and a half months prior and I had items missing but there was no one officially blamed for the theft.

Can I collect the last month's rent and get reimbursement for the missing items, gas and lost wages due to having to have done a mad scramble to get the rest of my belongings out of the apartment? I moved about 45 miles away from the old place and am not usually in the area any more.
Please advise
Thanks!
Did you file a police report?

The landlord is responsible for the missing items. The landlord may be responsible for reimbursing you for the rent for the couple of days the tenants moved in. You probably won't get lost wages, but you never know the judge may be pissed off enough with the cluster#$# the landlord caused that he will award those too.

Ha! you think that's bad, one apartment I had - I was moving out and i said my last day would be 3 days after that so i could clean. I had not yet returned the keys. So here comes the painters for the apartment and they wanted to pain before i was done cleaning up and toting out the last of my things.

I had another time when the previous tenant paid for 1 more month of parking, she moved out a month early, i got a month of free parking that she paid for of which i moved in that month.

Do you rent a room or the entire apartment?

Depends if the out house is considered part of the unit or if it's just out in the yard for any occupant to use.
