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

I bought a house over a month ago. The lady left a piano in the living room and said she would immediately make arrangements to have it picked up. More than a month later, she sent me a letter and wants me to send her dates and times that it is possible to have the piano picked up.

She was very unkind to me during the process of our closing on the property and
charged me rent after the fact of having agreed for me to move in before the actual closing. Now I would like to recoup the money I feel that she squeezed out of me by charging HER "rent" for her piano taking up space and thus preventing me from being
able to place my furniture in the living room where the piano was left. Would this be legal?

There is nothing in writing regarding the piano being left.
