Denied Sublease Access Rights

Summary

In California, even without a written sublease agreement, subtenants have rights. If denied access to belongings, you can demand access in writing, contact local authorities for essential items, or consider filing a small claims court case for losses. Connecting with a local lawyer can provide more detailed guidance.

I was subleasing and now I'm denied entrance to get my belonging and meds also personal documents
Hey ****! That sounds really frustrating. To help you out, can you let me know if you had a written sublease agreement?
No, just verbally
Thanks for sharing, ****. Since there's no written agreement, it can be tricky but not impossible. In California, you still have rights as a subtenant. Here are a few steps you can take:
- Demand Access: Politely request access to your belongings in writing.
- Local Authorities: Contact your local police for assistance in retrieving essential items like medication.
- Small Claims Court: Consider filing a claim for any losses or damages.
