Can my landlord remove my personal property from the garage area after I had been given permission by his representative to store it there?
When I moved into my apartment, a year and a half ago, the manager gave me permission to store some belongings in the garage. The landlord has since evicted him and June 15 left me a VM stating that I needed to remove my stuff; he did not give me a time frame. On June 22, we had a heated discussion during which I tried to explain that I am disabled with a terminal illness to which he made a rude comment. I called him an **** and hung up. He left me another voicemail stating that if I hadn’t moved the ‘junk’ in a few days he would have it removed. Is less than 2 weeks notice fair?

Two weeks is rather short notice, but you're at a disadvantage without a written agreement. Your best bet is to have a rational conversation with him and propose a reasonable time frame to move your belongings.
