Well as I said, I have messages from the landlord stating that we can arrange to meet up so I can grab my stuff, but I haven't heard back from him in almost a month. And I'm ready to at least tell him that I'm going to civil court over the issue since I've been trying to get my stuff back from the house since back when I even technically still lived there, just moved out the majority of my stuff out... My roommates at the time were not going to allow me on the property without the landlord. Spending 70.00 is more worth it to me than loosing the objects that were left behind.. Maybe you all just skimmed over everything? And it was a verbal lease agreement between the rooms. My roommates and I only shared common living spaces and my stuff has been moved from my bedroom to OUTSIDE in a shed to allow room for another roommate to take over my part of the lease.

So to sum that up for you.
* landlord already agreed to me getting my stuff but now won't answer my calls
* roommates won't allow me to get my stuff without the landlord.
* landlord is illegally renting out house
And I want to know if I can take HIM to court NOT my roommates.

According to the cops, I do have the right to my stuff, I just have to have the landlord there and since I was told that, I have sent the landlord many messages and calls trying to reach him. He responded once saying yes we can meet up, I'll call you tomorrow.. That's almost been a month since then.. He's even read the messages on Facebook and I'm sure he's listened to my voicemails.

I just want to take him to court over it and want to know if that's going to go in my favor.

My roommates are going to continue to hold on to my stuff until the landlord says otherwise because technically my stuff is inside the landlords shed and not the house we were leased out.

Which I'll say again, my roommates moved my stuff from the house to the shed and if I were to "sue my roommates" then I'm sure they would just turn around and say it's the landlords responsibility, not theirs and in the State of Colorado landlords have to give you a time and written notice before they can dispose of your stuff.

Were you and your roommates co-tenants, or were you separately leasing rooms and access to common areas? If it's the latter, your landlord can grant you access to your room and to common areas to get your stuff.

If your roommates are co-tenants then, as long as the lease continues, your landlord has few options to help you. You can negotiate with your ex-roommates, perhaps to have the items collected by a mutual friend or other acceptable person, or sue your ex-roommates and see if that inspires them to allow you to recover your property.

If the landlord rented out rooms separately, with common areas, then the landlord can and should help resolve the situation. If this is a single lease for the entire premises, then it's an issue between roommates.
The landlord was only leasing out a room to me and we had shared common spaces. I don't know if you are asking if I had a literal roommate or not because it was just me. I was leased a bathroom and a bedroom. When I started moving my bed and stuff out a had a few stuff left in the closet that I tried to pick up a few days later and was told I wasn't allowed back in the property without the landlord and even the cops agreed to that. I was told that my stuff in my room was moved out to the shed in the back which belongs to the landlord.. None of the roommates had written or verbal permission to use it as storage but the landlord was aware that my stuff was moved inside of it to allow room for the new tenant.. which I feel makes this a landlord issue, not a roommate one. I could try and reason with my ex roommates all day long but they aren't going to work with me unless the landlord is present. Which I understand since my stuff is in HIS shed.
