Personal property claim

Accusations that I stole personal belongings

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio

Hello,

I own a house in Medina County, Ohio. I was letting a friend stay with me because she no longer wanted to live with her mother. No paperwork was ever signed stating that she would live with me. She never paid me anything to live there either and eventually had her boyfriend coming and going from the house. He stayed from time to time as well.

We had a verbal altercation and she packed up her clothers and left one evening the end of September. I have been getting threatening e-mails and text messages telling me that I stole personal property from them and they want to come pick it up. I just bought my house in January of 2011 (my first home) and everything that is in my house is 100% mine.

I'm not sure how to go about handling this. I have told her that I do not have any belongings of hers but she continues to tell me I do. She said I need to give her a time and date that she can come pick up her things and that she will have the local police department escort her.

I'm not sure what I need to do. Am I protected? Or can she enter my house and just point to things she wants, claiming they belong to her?

Any advice would be well received. Thank you!

Tell her your all done with this BS and to cease all communications with you. She needs to put up or shut up , lack of police report about theft big thing here. If she had keys and didnt return them change the locks , No she cannot just come in , if she attempts to do so with a police officer then what you can to is question the officer ` has there been a police report filed ? when officer says no then ,insist the persons claims are not true , you do not have any of the persons property so if they think other wise they should file a police report. Remind the officer so far this is a civil matter that as far as you concerned is closed. This person who stayed with you can choose to take you to civil court where they will have to prove claims or can file police report and let them deal with it. ( since this person has acted this way I would say there is no more friendship so dont worry about pushing for this to end. the person moved away they have no rights to claim as tenant ! if they feel there is unfinished business they will have to be able to prove it to police or in small claims court.
