ok, thank you for the information. I'm currently in the process of trying to transfer the utilities. there is no documented written agreement between us as far as the payment of utilities and rent, aside from "good faith". I paid rent and utilities and she would repay me for half of the utilities, however she has not paid me back for her share of the utilities in a couple months. So, is it possible I could either counter sue or file a claim in small claims since I have it document that pretty much everything is in my name?
