What is the remedy for a retaliatory eviction?
If you believe the eviction was retaliatory, then you must state that as an affirmative defense in your answer to the landlord's complaint for eviction.

Would if you were thrown out of apartment without eviction and person has your belongingsWhat are my rights on getting stuff back?

What rights does a tenant have in an unlawful self help eviction by the landlord that led to great bodily harm and disability of the tenant that now faces lawful eviction and needs more time?
We have three different issues here: an illegal eviction, which appears to have been resolved; an allegation that the illegal eviction has resulted in great bodily harm and disability by the landlord; and that now the tenant needs more time (for what? I presume to find another dwelling). It appears that the illegal eviction has been resolved, or the tenant would not be living on the property now and need more time. So this issue is cleared. Next, the tenant claims that during the illegal eviction the landlord has caused great bodily harm and disability to the tenant. This is an issue that needs to go to civil court for remedy. Now, the tenant states he needs more time - I presume time to find another place, now that a legal eviction process has begun. If the eviction process has begun due to lack of payment, there is no time that the court will give you to remedy this situation: you must follow the court's procedures in answering this eviction. In Florida, this means that the tenant will have to pay to the clerk of your court the amount of money the landlord claims the tenant owes them, in order to secure a court date. If the pending process result in a new month, the tenant will have to continue to pay the clerk's office the money that the tenant would've had to pay the landlord. If landlord wins the eviction, they will receive that money minus 14%.
