Hi, and Welcome to JustAnswer

My name isXXXXX am a licensed, practicing Attorney and would like to help


The landlord cannot hold your RV behind a gate on which he has changed the locks. It would be the same thing as a landlord changing the locks on an apartment where the tenants have not paid the rent.

There is obviously a misunderstanding on the landlord's part since you informed him through emails how long you needed to rent the space for your RV. If the landlord intended to rent the space only on a month to month basis, he had an obligation to you to make his intentions clear at the outset, He cannot use ambiguoous terms at the outset, just to get you to rent the space, then change the terms in midstream, and hold your RV "hostage".


If the landlord thinks he rented it to you on a month to onth basis, his recourse is to go to Small Claims Court for what he thinks you owe him, not change the locks on the gate and withhold the RV.


If the landlord changes the locks on the gate, does not give you a key, and withholds your RV, you must sue him and show the Judge your emails to the landlord as evidence of what your understanding was of the rental agreement with the landlord, and ask the Judge to award you not only your ordinary damages, but punitive damages as well,
