Legal Question


Personal items

Starting on December 27, 2008, I was living with a man with the intention of eventually marrying him. During this time I found out some things about him that turned me off and made me not want to continue the relationship. I moved out of his apartment. During the time I lived with him I didn't have a job so he offered to pay some of my bills until I got on my feet. I never said that I didn't owe him the money. Last weekend I went and moved my things out of his apartment, but not the items in his storage unit. He said I had until June since he had the unit until then. This morning I received an email from him stating that I had 60 days to pay him $905.00 or he was going to sell my things and destroy what he couldn't sell to cover the $905.00. Is that legal? Can he hold my personal things hostage for money I owe him. Until this morning he hadn't even asked me to pay him back. He is just hurt and wants to be mean. Can he do that or can I go get my things and set up a payment schedule?
