Landlord Locked Me Out

Location: California, USA

Landlord changed the locks to my apartment with my belongings still there. Kicked out no notice paper, just verbal. must leave by the end of this month.

Just some backstory

I've been a tenant for almost 3 years to a landlord that is a family friend. Rent is cheap and I do a little bit of work on the property. It is a smaller apartment attached to landlords apartment. ((Note: I never signed a rental agreement.)) After countless talks and warnings I was finally kicked out verbally. Im a bad alcoholic and lost my job.(four months clean!) I went to rehab the next morning and stayed there for a few months. I left my car, furniture, belongings there while I was getting treatment. After finishing treatment I decided to stay at my parents house to get some sober time so I could ask my landlord if I could come back. Asked landlord yesterday if I could come back but they told me that someone else is moving into the apartment by the end of the month and I've messed up too many times and I can't live there anymore So they changed the locks. With all my stuff in the apartment. Then told me I need to get everything out by the end of the month.

Is this even legal? Can I defend myself if they threaten to evict me? What's the next move?

I really would appreciate some advice.

Peace
