    Can my friends room mate sue me because I was staying in their apartment?
    My friend told me she wanted me to stay in her apartment with her even though I told her I couldn't because I couldn't pay. She said I didn't have to. Now her other room mate is saying that she's going to sue me for rent. There was no verbal or written agreement and I was given keys to the place! Now their saying their was some kind of verbal agreement and their going to take me to court?

    They're saying there was a verbal agreement of some kind? Both of them?

    I suppose you should have got both roommates to agree before you moved in. Start looking for somewhere else to live.
