    Lanlord tenant laws
    My boyfriend came and asked me to move in with him.I gave him my whole tax kick to cover 8 months of rent.Ever since I gave him the money he's been starting fights with me and at one time asked me to leave.I've only been their a month and he's denying I gave him the money.I was stupid and did not get anything in writing that I gave him the money and for what purpose.Except for a with drawl of the amount from the bank.Is there any way I can sue him for my money back so that I can move out.

    The rule of thumb is you can sue anyone for almost anything, but can you prevail? Sounds like its your word againist his and that will not work well for you in court. However, a judge or lawyer may be able to ask the right questions that may trip him up. What have you got to lose? By the way, you can move out money or no money but you also have established tenant rights. He would need to evict you if he wants you out.

    Like ballengerb1 pointed out, you can sue for anything at anytime. You'll probably win, too. The hard part is actually collecting the money. Unless you know where he works(for garnishment) or banks(to freeze his account), it's going to be next to impossible to get him to pay.

    Did you give him the money in cash? How long have you lived with him?
