Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in California
holding my property
i rented a room from a friend, it was a verbal agreement for a month to month basis. I gave my 30 day notice verbally ith my April rent. I took my clothes and some personal things. Now at the end of the month they wont let me move out my furniture and other property until i pay a storage fee. Is this legal?

Re: holding my property
NO! They cannot hold your property hostage, and police will not do anything.
Landlord can put furniture in storage after 15 days, and you have to pay 1/30 rent for each day furniture remains in property.
You can move furniture, write letter (certified) to landlord, or retain an attorney to write landlord a strong demand letter.
Good luck!
