    How do I get rent money from a roommate, whose name is on the lease?
    I let my pregnant future daughter-in-law move in with me during her pregnancy. She had no where to go, plus the pregnancy was hard.. or least that is what she told me... She was suppose to pay me 300.00/month, but never did. The baby finally came and we moved into a new house, and she wanted to be on the lease. She signed it, and was suppose to now pay me 400.00/month. She paid 1 month, and then nothing. I took care of her and my grandson. I finally asked her to move out, cause I couldn't afford it anymore. I was hoping that she would grow up and get a job, and take care of her son. I even bought her a truck, so she would have a way to go. That she never paid me back for either. She lived 2 other places since then, and I still had to pay some of her rent, or she and the baby was going to be kicked out. Finally, she had to go to a "hospitiality house", since she had no place else to go. A free place to live... she got kicked out of there too. She took my grandson and went to Arkansas. There was only 1 person left that would take her in, and she hocked jewerly, just to get her a bus ticket to AR. How do I get my money back from her?

    File suit against her. But you can't get blood from a stone.
