Hi. Around November my best friend at the time asked me to move in with her. Her mom had just died in august and she, her coworker, and her then live in boyfriend moved out of their apartment into her deceased mother's house. After her breakup with her boyfriend in December she kept asking me to move in because though she has the money she was tired of paying her half of the rent plus the ex's half of the rent and didn't want to raise the rent on the other roommate because it wasn't his fault that her ex left. I told her I would. I saw it as a favor to her.
Before I moved in she told me that everyone splitted the rent and utilities. I moved out of my mom's house to that residence around late January/early February and gave her a check for rent and utilites every month. Around early April the problems began. Living with her and the other roommate became intolerable. They were nasty and the house was just a mess. I personally have to have a clean kitchen and bathroom. The only time the house got cleaned is when I cleaned up and at the end of the day it was a mess again. They left dirty dishes filled with food in the sink and on the stove overnight. They stored the dogfood in the downstairs bathroom and she let her dogs poop and pee around the house. Paper and trash was everywhere. It came to the point where I would stay in my room and take lysol with me everytime I went to the bathroom. I discussed this with them and they didn't change.
My friend would act like she owned the place because she grew up in the house. She tried to act like my mother by trying to keep tabs on me all the time asking me where I've been and where I was going and with who and would get mad when I told her I was grown and she wasn't my mother. But she was allowed to come and go as she pleased and have company over at anytime without notice. She then said that my attitude wasn't to her liking and no one was forcing me to live there and I am welcome to leave at anytime and she said this on more than one occassion and I have proof of it.
When I moved in I never signed a lease or any written agreement. We never even had an oral agreement. Nothing beyond rent or utilities was discussed. After she told me I was free to leave at anytime for the umpteenth time I told her I would move. A week later I got my things and moved (April 14th). I gave her the keys as well as the rent and utilites for that month (March) which was due April 16th. Now she wants to sue me for next months rent (April) which will be due May 16th because I didn't give her a 30 days notice. But she gave me the green light to leave and the living situation was ridiculous.
After I moved she began harrassing me. She has sent me hate mail via text messages, has threatened to throw away my mail from the day I moved(which she didn't give to me) and any day after (I have put in a change of address already), and she has had her relatives call my phone leaving voice messages. I came to find out that one of her old roomates from a few years ago moved out because she was "crazy." Will she win this case? Is there anyway that I can win this case?
