I didn't know which forum to post this so I decided to post in General and Misc Topics, sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this type of question on..
First off, I am 19 and I live in Texas..
I have no clue about the first thing on Verbal Agreements, but..
around September of 2004, my father allowed 2 friends of mine to rent out an room in our house here in Houston. We had a non-writen verbal agreement because these were friends of mine and I trusted that everything would go well, they both had stable jobs and what not.. Each were to pay $150 a month for a total of $300 for the one room which they both occupied. One friend payed for all months till December of 2004 in which they both moved out, and the other missed a few payments and agreed to pay $250, which was what he owed untill he moved out, at a later date when he quote "had money" because he had to pay for car notes, repair and other immediate necessities. It seems apparent now that he is unwilling to pay and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to collect the $250. I do have 2 other witnesses to both the verbal agreement and him acknowleding and agreeing to pay the $250 when he "had money".
