What are my options if this turns into a mess of legal and ownership problems? Payment for furniture required upon USE of furniture was agreed.

Verbal agreement. I deliver and set up furniture in 5 offices. Property manager inspected upon set up, stated “looks good to me”. I leave furniture setup. Building owners show up a week later, they do not like the style of the furniture. The contact me to come remove. I am sick for 2 weeks. Owners leave message “we’ll move them until you get them.” I call back, property manager “they have changed their mind, they’ve put work into cleaning up the desks, so we’re going to continue.” If I want to remove my furniture which they have no paid for, what are the possible problems I face?

The customer has a right to reject the furniture and is responsible for returning it to you or permitting you to come pick it up.  If the customer does not want the furniture, they can do that.  If the customer wants to keep the furniture then it has to pay for it.  if they use the furniture and want to keep it but not pay you, then you need to send a letter indicating that you will be suing if payment is not received.  I suggest giving 5 days for the cusotmer to respond to paying you.  If there is no response file the suit and make sure ou have a lawyer helping you with this.
