    Exclamation Roommate Won't Let Me Get My Stuff

    My question involves a roommate in the State of: New york

    My girlfriend was renting an apartment with her friend, she was not put on the lease, i recently got my girlfriend and i a new apartment. We moved most of our stuff out, however we still have a closet full of clothes, along with a dresser full of clothes, and several pairs of my shoes, also i left a pill bottle their of mine that probably has 1 or 2 pills in it, these medications are a controlled substance. so when we went back to finish getting our stuff we found out that the roommate had changed both locks and refused to allow us in. so i called the cops they met me at the apartment and we knocked for 10-15 minutes with no answer however she was home. My Question is what can my girlfriend and i do to get our belongings back. the local authorities said all they could do is knocked and she didn't have to answer. i could get into a lot of trouble if someone was to get a hold of my controlled medication and all im told is well if she doesn't answer there is nothing we can do. Please HELP we want everything out by July 1st which is tomorrow so we don't have to pay for July's rent.

    Perhaps your girlfriend should try to get help from the landlord.

    she called the landlord, he wasn't aware of the lock change, then told her she had to work it out with her roommate and he wasn't going to do anything. Another issue has been brought to my attention, i am prescribed a controlled substance i have searched everywhere for the bottle that has 2 pills in it i can not find them in all the boxes i moved into my new apartment, the only place they could be is in the apartment that we are locked out off, is there anything i can do to get them back? and is it legal for my girlfriends roommate to get rid of our belongings without giving us a time to pick them up?
