    Default Suing My Roommates for Property Damage and Money Owed

    My question involves court procedures for the state of: Michigan
    My ex and current roommate owes me in excess of $12, 000. This started in about late july/early august when I moved in with him. I know a lot of it is my fault for letting him do it but it happened. I have paid his rent since I moved in, paid his phone, bought several of his phones because he broke them, paid the internet, he has destroyed two laptops, I bought several xbox 360s, an xbox one, just everything. It just kept adding up. He blames everything on me of course saying that if I didn't go out of town this stuff wouldn't happen. Yeah, causr me leaving caused you to get mad at a game and throw a $700 laptop against the wall. He also sold my 3ds games and console and lied about it but I have records that show he sold the games but I can't figure out what he did with the actual system. The only proof I have that I paid for anything are paypal statements. And a text messege saying I don't have anything saying he'd pay me back. He has insisted that he would but I don't know that it would hold up. The problem is I'm moving next week to Texas. And chances are he's going to get kicked out of this house because he has put us behind $600 in rent. And the place is dirty and destroyed. Luckily I'm not on the leade. Its a month to month. Rent is $600 a month. I'm only supposed to pay $200 because we do have another roommate. But I've bern paying $400 and for two months $600 cause he spent the rent money.

    If you have time before you move, you can consider suing in small claims court. You may have to waive part of your claim in small claims court due to the jurisdictional limits. If that's the case you have the option of suing in a regular trial court, but that's considerably more difficult to do without a lawyer, and generally takes more time to complete.
