My question involves a roommate in the State of: California
I moved into a home with my boyfriend at the time, signing a one year lease. Four months into the lease we broke up. I told him he could stay until he found a place as long as he paid his bills and rent. He is not almost two months behind on bills. Right after the breakup, he made me type out an agreement, stating the splitting of the cell phones and bills and had me sign, along with him, and my mother sign as a witness. He says the agreement is not legal. Can I sue him in small claims? If I do, can they award me my legal fees? And if I win, will they dock his paycheck or will he have to pay me voluntarily?
