What can I do about this stupid guy I am forced to deal with?

So he is my best fried’s sister’s fiance. He threatened my best friend with a shovel, and he is a complete 24 year old child. I moved into a house with my best friend in May, and my rent and lease didnt start till June and was just signed yesterday. However I was there so my landlord wanted the money for may. SO I paid him. Well My best friends sister and her man lived there before and had to pay first and last months rent. And they paid for may, but they broke lease by leaving early. There lease ends June 1st, but they moved out. Now they are demanding I refund them the money the signed a lease to pay rather I was there or not, AND I had to pay for May. So now the landlord is taking the money and using it for NEXT may, my last month. The issue is, I paid this may even though it wasnt in my lease, So I dont feel I should have to pay her. I dont like either of them, so its not like they are friends and I feel like doing favors either. Am I in the right?

You have no obligation to pay her or her fiance any form of money. You are not renting the home from them - therefore you have no legal obligation to pay them any money for a home they no longer inhabit.

You having to pay Mays rent is actually the norm. Since you are in fact living there during the month of May, the landlord has the right to make you pay for May. Although most will work a deal with you and subtract the adequate amount of money from that months rent if you move in the home during the middle of the month, since technically you werent there an entire month.

Your best friend’s sister and her fiance had a completely different contract with the landlord and if they broke their lease it doesnt matter if they paid for May or not….they are no longer living there and you are on a different contract so the landlord has every right to make you pay for May also.

Answer #2

Thanks I didnt have a problem paying the land lord at all. I understood and he is a good guy. I just didnt see it fit that they were demanding money from me and I just wanted to make sure I wasnt letting my dislike for them bias my opinion of right and wrong in the legal sense of it all.

Answer #3

First off you dont have to put up with anything…you always have a choice…no matter what situation you are in you always have a choice…so lets just clear that up for a sec…

* Now you say this is your best friends sister’s fiance & he threatened her with a shovel…Wooooow, you owe nothing to this sister or her fiance…you are best friends with the girl not her sister or her sister’s fiance…If I were her I would get a restraining order against him…what kind of sister allows her fiance to threaten her sister?!

* You owe any landlord 1st & last months rent even if you didnt start the month off, that is just the way it goes…now if the landlord is a nice person he will use that money to compensate for the time you really werent there on to your last months rent. (If he is a J.@ss which most landlords are, he will just collect off that check for his fat pocket & say w00tever!)

* As for paying that best friends sister’s fiance the money for may…not a chance in hell…he can threaten to take you to court & huff & puff til he is blue ion the damn face…& still he would get nothing…he broke the lease end of story…not you…no one kicked him out…he just left, so he gets nothing! You owe him nothing…not even an explanation & if he continues to harass you then like I said you can take out a restraining order against him for harassment & threats on your life.

Hope this helped.

Answer #4

You shouldn’t do that, because some people might take advantage of you that way.

Answer #5

i think you need not pay anything.

Answer #6

Thank you for the reassurance. It just got out of control because we work in the same place, and so does my friend and her sister… ironically. But its a big company, but he started to harass me through our work email system and trying to intimidate me on lunch breaks… I thought it was really imature. I am not afraid of him or anything like that, but I agree thats why I cant figure out how she is still getting married to this guy. if ANYONE ever threatened my kid brother, Idc if he was my fiance, I would punch him a good one ^_^

Answer #7

I agree! I just dont get some people, you know this person is abusive why marry a guy like that…I mean honestly is she stupid or just plain desperate?!

Answer #8

I think its a combination of both. She has a personality that is one in a few billion… She hates EVERYTHING and he complains about everything. They are both the kinda people who like to always think they are right and try and make facts in conversation to make themselves seem superior to people. THey talk AT people not to them. I try to dissasociate myself from them :P
