I have a long story, but I will try and keep it short.
I was going out of town and out of the country. So when leaving out of town i left a letter to my roommate stating that I needed rent early because I was going out of the country on a specific date. For 2 weeks I called, emailed, and texted to try and get in touch with them. They never responded to anything. So the day that I left to go out of the country i changed my locks on my apartment. When I got back we talked about how we had a miss communication about the situation and i agreed to give her access to the apartment. She decided to move out, but has yet to take her stuff. They keep coming to the apartment stating that she's packing up their stuff, but I havent seen them leave with anything. It has now been over 30 days since I have changed the locks on my doors. They have my gate key to my apt bldg and my mailbox key. I haven't got any mail in over a month. They refuses to pay any rent or bills, even past bills like water for Nov and Dec because I illegally evicted them. I understand that what I did, but I feel like that doesn't mean they can just store there stuff at my place for forever. What can I do? I feel like I should be able to sue them for past rent and bills because we are both in the wrong and for storage. Or maybe sell her stuff...i don't know. any advice is helpful...
