Not sure if this is the right thread to put this in....
I have a camping trailer that has been at the same park for 3 years, I have always been a seasonal camper paying for the whole summer. During the winter everyone leaves there camper up there.
Well this year the weather was still nice and i decided to stay up there for a few extra weeks after the season ended. We agreed on a price of $20 per day with the owner of the campground.I stayed up there until the 13th of Nov. then went back to my house for the winter. before i left i talked to him and he agreed and acknowledged that i would be leaving on the 13th.
I came home then left on the 14th on a business trip and came back on the 26th. When i got home i checked my messages and the owner of the campground called me about 8 times saying i owe him $20 a day up to the 26th and was acruing daily. I called him and he said that because my camper was still hooked up to the sewer line that he considers me still there and i owe him more money. I payed him until the 10th of the month before i left because i wasnt sure what day would be my last (which turned out to be the 13th).I agree that i owe him the $60 for the 10th -13th but as for the other $260 (14-26) i dont think i owe him it.
I went up there today (26th) to pull my camper out of the park and put it at my house for the winter and find another park in the spring. When I got up there he had his tractor parked in front of my camper so i couldnt hook it up and pull it out of there. I asked him to move it and he said he wouldnt until i payed him the full amount of $320. I called the police and they said it was only a civil matter and i have to take him to small claims court to get my property back. I almost went back to the park to make it a criminal matter by slapping him upside the head but decided it probably wasnt the smartest thing to do.
Can he legally do this?
what can i do to get my property back?
