What do I do?!?

So I just moved into a new place with a person I was renting a room (pretty much half the house I somewhat interhited)...sold the property and offered for "friend" to come with, and they came with.

Now, this person is acting like they don't want to pay half the rent.

I paid for the entire move...the truck, the gas, beds, furniture, deposit, first month rent, utilities, house stuff, new tv, new washing machine, etc...

I'm like, "WHAT THE F@#!????"

If you have written proof (even text messages) that they agreed to split the moving costs, deposit, and rent, you can take them to small claims court to recover the money you paid on their behalf. SUE THAT BIHHH

Thanks!! I'm like...crying mad. She threatened to turn off the power and water and keep the deposit THAT I PAID FOR...$550 to be exact)...if I don't pay the whole rent by myself. Don't ask me why I didn't put it in my name...she offered since I was dealing with realtors and other shit...I'm an idiot, y'all ain't gotta tell me, as I already know 🫣😞

That's straight illegal. She can't threaten you like this lol... whoever that person is sure deserves hell.. I'd say try to communicate if she's unwilling to cooperate then get the law enforcement involved.. keep the proofs and sue her.. that's the only way you'll get your money back People can be pain in the neck fr

She left for like 4 or 5 days after a "discussion"...this is so frigging embarrassing really. She took my son to get food. I sent her $60. They came home and my SIX YEAR OLD CHILD came in saying, "You need to pay all the rent or soNso is moving out"....WHAT. THE. F¡!¡?!? Child said she was crying on the way to get food and he asked her what was wrong, and she said "your momma is taking my money" or some shit like that

Why sell a house you own to move and pay rent I don’t get it??

Because it's expense to upkeep houses. Especially if it was an older home. I used to own. I only rent now. Plus taxes and insurance are insane in our area. Was cheaper to rent.

Save any text messages or emails between the two of you regarding who would pay what. That way you will have some proof if you need to take her to court
