From the beginning:
My daughter needed a place to live and a friend said she could put her matress and belongings in an "alcove" of her one bedroom apartment. The verbal agreement was after two months she would pay an agreed to portion of the rent and that was all.
At the end of the lease on that apartment they agreed to find a two bedroom place. "Friend" signed lease (not my daughter) and the verbal agreement between friends was that my daughter would pay half the rent while working and going to school. Once my daughter got a job in her new profession she would then pay 50% of everything.
Two weeks after graduation my daughter moves out. She paid for the upcoming months rent so in essence gave 30 days notice. Now ex-roommate wants to sue her for money she claims is owed to her.
Does this sound like grounds for small claims court?
