No, they most certainly cannot. You would file in civil court to have your belongings returned and they would probably counterclaim for monies owed. In the end, the judge would sort this out and the landlord would have to return the properties he took without permission and would receive a judgment for the monies you owe for rent. But no, they cannot just take your personal belongings without permission for any reason.

It depends, did you sign a contract saying that if the landlord did not receive payment in _ amount of time, the landlord may hold personal property until payment is received If you did not (which no logical person would do, unless they did not like and or enjoy their personal property) then it is against the law that they take it, unless you HAND it over to them or allow them to take it, if they took (also known as stole) any personal property without your permission, you can take your landlord to court, and justice will most likely will be paid, but to be positively far, the landlord can give a certain amount of time for you to pack your things if you did not pay, so things do even out, but this is not a legal case unless you either handed or gave permission for your landlord to take/touch your personal property... But, you must pay your rent...
Someone is renting your land after a few years do they have an appeal to your land?
Answer: By renting your land they are acknowledging that you are the owner. There would be no grounds for an adverse claim. Adverse possession arises when a person uses someone else's property without permission of the owner of the property. A landlord and tenant relationship clearly demonstrates that the property was used with the permission of the owner.
