I had a roommate that wasn't on the lease, but there was a verbal agreement that he would pay half the rent. He came home from work one day with two of his friends, and without a word, packed up most of his belongings and left, leaving me with 6 more months rent. The roommate left his things here for almost 2 weeks without so much as a phone call to follow up on when he was going to remove them. With rent due, and not having enough money to pay for the apartment by myself, I had to take drastic measures and decided to sell two guitars he had left at a local resale shop. He now wants almost 4 times more than I got for the guitars, and has threatened to file a theft report with the police. If this went to court, is this a case I could win? I can not afford to pay him back for the guitars (considering I'm paying all the rent myself) PLEASE GIVE ADVISE!
