My belongings were moved from my office. I called landlord and he said he''d call me back. (acted like he didn''t know) but now he won''t answer my call.
I rented a small office in a suite for two years and made all payments. The landlord was responsible for utilities which were constantly being turned off. The other tenants moved out because they could not guarantee that their office would have power when they arrived! I even payed the utility bills myself a couple times. Finally it was off and I did not pay the bills and I quit paying rent. At the same time I opened a new business that occupied my time. I left my belongings in the office and told the landlord to let me know when the utilities were back on. I checked every few weeks and they never came on. I told the landlord that I can remove my stuff if needed. I even offered to pay the utilities in exchange for free rent and help him rent the other suites. He said that sounded like a great idea and would get back to me--but never did. I called him every couple months and updated him with my phone number and asked if I needed to get my stuff out. Now my stuff is gone.
You should start by sending a demand letter to the landlord, by certified mail, return receipt requested. If that doesn't produce results, you can sue (in small claims, if appropriate).
