my ex and i have split about a month ago and i am still trying to get all my stuff back. we had a storage unit under his name that has 3 large totes full of my belongings. He is refusing to allow me access to it. He states he has not yet paid the bill for the storage and is threatening to close his acct and have my belongings auctioned off with the unit. I understand that since my name is not on the unit i have no right to cut the lock and retrieve the items myself, so i am stuck trying to figure out how i can legally get my stuff before it is auctions off or he closes the account. My mother advised me to call the police and have someone escort me out there and with the police there the storage unit would have to open the unit for me, however they do not have a copy of the key. If anyone could lead me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it. The belongings in the unit have great sentimental value and once belonged to my deceased mother. Thanks for your time!
