    Post Ex-Boyfriend Threatens To Sue For Rent And Bills Not Owed

    Here is the thing. My boyfriend and I moved in together. We had a verbal agreement of 300.00 including utilities for my rent. His daughter is also there everyonther weekend. The 300. was half of the rent and 75 for utilities. I moved in on 1/14 gave 150.00 cash which i withdrew from my bank account to pay him. He was behind on rent so it went to his dec. On 1/23 i paid 300 to the land lord for my rent since he was behind and that would of been his january rent he wanted it to all go to her. the same with my march as well. When I gave her a check for 225.00 on 2/23. It was only for rent, but also that month his mother stayed with us for 2 weeks. If that matters any. On 3/19 I made out my april check and gave to the land lady. At the 1st we split up. he was moving my things for me and slamming all the doors in the house. I felt threatened with his history of spousal abuse. So I left I canceled my rent check and notified the landlord that I would settle my 5 dyas i was there and the return check fee since this is not her fault.

    Keep in mind I never signed a lease.
    Also the 75.00 I was short for March we agreed upon. At first I thought I had spent on grocies but when looking through documents I think that was the month I had extra doctor bills.

    I paid all my living expense and then some while there. such as food etc...

    He is taking me to civil court for half of all bills. What rights do I have? Does he have a case? PLEASE HELP!

    Default Re: Ex Boyfriend threatens to sue for half of all bills. Ignoring verbal contract.

    You can argue to the court that the agreement was for $225 in rent and $75 in utilities, and that you don't owe him any money (or owe less than he's claiming). Take proof of your payments with you to court.
