Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New York

I recently moved out of an apartment I was sharing with another person. She is a 22 year old Swede. I was not on the lease but she was. She claims I still owe her money but I do not. She still has thousands of dollars of my things and is refusing to return them. I no longer have a key and she wont give me back my things until I give her thousands of dollars that I dont owe her. What can I do legally in order to get my things back?

If she has truly converted thousands of dollars of your personal property to her own use without judicial intervention, you had better retain an attorney immediately to protect your interests. Your dilemma is that a foreigner may return to her country of origin immediately without any consequence once she has sold or permanently removed your personal property. You may contact me to further advise you of your rights.
