First- you cannot claim adverse possession against someone who doesn't own the property. You don't have an adverse possession against your landlord who doesn't own the property but has an adverse possession claim against the owner of the land. According to the minimal facts you provided you don't have any standing to make such a claim. You are using the property with the landlord's permission. One of the elements required to make a claim of adverse possession is that you use the property openly and notoriously (without permission).

Can my landlord put my things out if I left for two weeks?

Most states have a law within their landlord and tenant acts that states that the landlord may retake possession of his property without eviction proceedings if there is evidence to show that the property has been abandoned. Generally it has to be at least 15 days after the rent is due, and there must be evidence that the property was abandoned, such as electricity having been turned off. Just the fact that the tenant was absent for two weeks is not enough for the landlord to retake possession.


When serving a writ of possession can they come in my house when I'm not at home?

To cut to the chase, yes. When a writ of possession is being served, the Law Enforcement Agency will first post a notice to vacate, which will identify when they will take possession of the property (about a week after the notice.). When they take possession, the landlord or their agent will accompany or meet the Law Enforcement Officer (LEO). The LEO will ensure the peace, while the Landlord takes possession, if necessary the LEO will remove the tenant, then usually the landlord changes the locks. If the tenant is home, they will be ordered off the property, and removed if necessary. If they resist they may be jailed. If they return it is trespassing. If the tenant is not home, the landlord usually has a locksmith open the property and change the locks. If the tenant still has stuff on the premises which has not, and cannot immediately be removed, each state has procedures for storing left behind property, giving notice, time limits, and selling, or disposing of abandoned property.


Do you still have to pay your landlord if house is for sale?

Yes, to whoever has control over the property.
