Simple you have to punish fools like Thiel or they will do it again.

My landlord performed an unlawful eviction and conversion of my personal property.

Unless there are unlawful terms in the Agreement, they will typically interpret it at face value.

If your state allows unlawful detainers for utilities, that's your best option.

Tenant/landlord laws are usually severe (leaning towards punishing the landlord) if the letter of the law is not followed. 

However, make sure that everything is done according to the laws, otherwise they can be very punishing (for good reasons). 

The city had to pay damages for an unlawful taking.In 2005 the State of Michigan adopted into the STATE CONSTITUTION that cities can not use eminent domain for economic gain.

Specifically, a landlord may be able to serve the 3 day notice to pay or quit, but filing an unlawful detainer action is probably best left to an attorney the first time around.Originally posted by @Mike Franco:...I also have a judgment from a long time ago, and I didn't renew it...Just in case you are not aware, judgements in CA are good for 10 years and may be renewed for another 10 years, then 5 years.

I would include in that notice a warning that if Tenant C remains in the home after February 29th, then you will initiate the eviction process.I wouldn't go into detail about how you would evict or how you would punish him.

We're currently going through formalized eviction with our tenants because they refused to leave so now it's an unlawful detainer case.
