Is your name on the lease of the cottage? How do you get paid by the "little old lady" which I find hard to believe.
Little old ladies who need caregivers don't end up in jail.
The more likely situation you have going on here is you made a deal with her to move in on the DL against the landlord's knowledge. Either the little old lady expected you to pay her to live there or you were going to work in exchange for living there.
Either way, unless the landlord knew about you or your name is on the lease, you have no legal rights to anything in the cottage.
Maybe try to find out the reason why the landlord is trying to get you arrested every time you go near the place. Maybe call him and ask.
If the cottage is locked up for lack of payment on the rent or because the little old lady had you living there on the DL, he can have you arrested for trespassing.
Try calling the landlord and talking to him reasonably because there's not a whole lot you can do.
Good luck and I hope you get your stuff back.
I suggest that you go to the city police or sheriff's station (of the house) and explain the situation. Give them the landlord's number to contact and set up a date/time, with the landlord present, to have an officer personally escort you to remove only your things and then leave immediately. Otherwise you're probably out of luck. Is there a restraining order on you? If so, bring that to the police station also. Good luck.
