What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
My girlfriend and i broke up the first week of july. We had been renting an apartment, and when she moved out, she left several belongings at my parent's house nearby, when she drove back to New york City. Not that this necessarily pertains to the issue at hand, but she has neglected to pay her half of the bills for the month before she moved out, approximately $50 worth( was $90 but she paid $45).
She wants me to mail her her belongings that she had left at my parents house. I said sure, just pay me back for the utilities and i'll have them on their way.
Legally speaking, Am i obligated to mail her her belongings? I saw that in California, a landlord can issue a notice of right to claim abandoned property, but I wasn't her landlord, the belongings she left behind were not at the rental unit, but at my parent's house. Does the same hold true in Michigan?
