I moved in with my friend and his mom and loved with them for almost 2 years. There were times where I wasn't working and my friend's mom told me she'd cover my portion of the rent free of debt until I got another job. There was a verbal agreement for how much my portion is. Nothing was written down. I wasn't on the lease, the property management company didn't know I lived there. She is now seeking back rent from me almost 4 months later. She kicked me out back in April, the day I paid my portion of the rent.

You didn't ask any questions.

But if you are wondering if she could sue you and win, then yes, she very likely could. You owe your friends mom the rent money. I doubt any judge will believe that she said you didn't have to pay her back.

Sorry, I was in a rush when I wrote it. The main question I have is, what can I do about the situation?
