    Unhappy Evicted And Now They Are Asking For Money?

    My question involves an eviction in the state of: NC

    I moved in with a friend back in January. He did not ask for a security deposit and I did not sign a lease. There was no other verbal arrangement either. He told me how much to pay and I paid it every month. After me being there a little more than a month he asked me to move out. He said he would give me 60 days to find a new place. I paid rent for Feb and he said I could give him what I thought was 'fair' for March since I decided to move back home to SC. Now he's threatening to sue me for the remainder of what he says I owe him. I was out of the apartment by the agreed upon date and he waited almost two months to say anything to me about this. I had to leave all of my furniture behind and some of my dishes. He said this wasn't a problem that he would either sell them or use them.

    Can he sue me? What are my rights in this case? Again, there was no lease and I did pay him in full every month except for March when he said for me to give him a fair amount for my trouble.

    Any help here will be appreciated. I'm not in NC anymore and don't want to get sued and not know my rights.

    He could take you to small claims court for what he claims you owe.

    He may well have a rough go of it, however, as you had nothing in writing (apparently not even the eviction?) and he didn't specify what the thought was "fair" for March.

    To lawresearchermissy :

    So he can take me to small claims? Great. I'm not working because I'm dealing with medical problems, another reason I chose to move back home.

    Thanks for the info.
