Q: Roomate not on lease did not pay rent and now moved out and disappeared. What to do?
So my boyfriend has a best friend since middle school and we decided to pick him as a roommate, he paid rent on the first month then lost his job , my boyfriend didn't wanna kick him out because he felt bad, he decided to give time to have him find a job and pay us back , about 2 1/2 months later he decides to move to his family and promised to pay us back little by little , now he blocked us and went somewhere else, no written agreement, maybe through text, also have a picture of his ID and social security card he sent me, we also so happen to go all in at a new apartment (which he actually listed as a tenant ) until he decided to move out and called the new apartment place to remove his name after. Also our apartments ac broke for 2 weeks and we had to get some window ac unit which he agreed to help but never could. What can we possibly do ? His total rent for the 2 1/2 months was 1000$
