We also did not have a signed agreement between us, only verbal. I have yet to receive her half of the rent of this month. Please help!
1 ANSWER
A verbal agreement is as good as a written one, just much harder to prove the terms if the parties disagree. ?You are entitled to sue her for her portion of the rent and utilities. ?But you still have to keep paying the landlord the full amount or he will kick you out.
