Appellate Practice Attorney serving New York, NY
No. Although it is not unheard of for people to resort to this sort of "self help" to gain leverage in a situation, you have no legal right to keep him from his property unless you had an agreement that the bed was to be security for his completion of the job. Your remedy is to sue him for breach of contract.
