That's what I thought! I've never heard of it either, and I've unfortunately been in close calls and almost evicted. Never without at least one notice to warn it impending (cure or quit), a tenant answers in court if necessary, landlord files hearing date, and the tenant still has a chance to pay up before or at court. Then if it's a no go still, then the 24-hour pre-lockout. If even then no response, unit gets locked up for 30 days with tenant able to reclaim everything then, too. How did the car get stolen by mgmt too? The only ways to take possession of it would've been if it was illegally parked, yes? Absolutely none of that part of the story made sense. None of it.
