Q: If i have been helping pay someones rent for four months but can no longer affor to do so can i be made to continue.
I said i would help my ex friend with half of his part which is 175 dollars a month in hope he would find a job and be able to pay full amount on his own. I have been sending him 400 a month sine Feb. 2017. I told him i could no longer do this because of financial problems of my own as i am on a fixed income. He got very angry and said i had to keep paying because i had committed to help. He has not paid one dime and the residence in question he shares with his older brother. I live in NC, he lives in IN and the apartment is in IL.
