Is it legal for a parent to throw out appartment application?

I'm 18 and live in California. the other day I stepped out for a few hours, and when I got home I found out that my mom threw away/destroyed the appartment application for my move out. Is it legal for her to go to such an extreme as to try and prevent my move out?Is it legal for a parent to throw out appartment application?
What is the damage?. Just fill out a new application.





Problem solved.Is it legal for a parent to throw out appartment application?
There is nothing illegal with what your mother did.





Having learnt (if you did not already know) that your mum does not want you to move out you need to be somewhat more circumspect about things like apartment applications etc.





You also need to talk to your mum about you moving out - do not accuse her of anything, don't get angry and make your you listen to her and take in what she is saying.





Talk to her about why you want to / need to move out (make sure it is about you and not her). Ask her how she feels about you moving out and what concerns her. It may be that she just needs reassurance. If you really want / need this, then don't back done but be aware of her needs and fears and try and alleviate them.





PS without knowing your reasons - be aware there are great advantages of living at home; cheaper, meals cooked for you, washing done .....


Maybe if she not giving you enough freedom or constraining you, you could compromise for now and see if she will give you more space and freedom and you don't move out. Just an idea.





Remember in talking it is important to talk about how you feel, don't attack the other person, give them room to move and try and find a win/win scenario. (I do acknowledge that sometimes a win/win is not possible but don't burn any bridges).
It's legal, but just go and get a new one.





She can't stop you from moving out.
I think you need to have a talk with your mom about you moving out it is clear she has some issues with you moving out. She is your mom be nice.
I don't think it's necessarily illegal, but chances are, you need to secure your stuff better.


Keep it at a friend's house if she's that scared of you moving out.
I don't know if its illegal, but it sure as hell is wrong.
