Landlord issues

Location: St. Louis city . My aunt has lived in the apartment for a little over a year . It was a verbal month to month agreement no actual signed lease. Last week her landlord was screaming at the girl up stairs and my aunt stuck up for the girl and the landlord punched her right in the face. The next day when she went to the store she got back and there was a padlock on her front door. Her animals are inside as well. She has called the police and they won’t do anything. Everything she owns is in there. She has no money not even a dime ! The landlord will not let her get her dog and 2 cats or any of her belongings. What is she suppose to do ? Also she is disabled
