This past May my friend had asked me to live with him in his apartment for the summer and I agreed, as he and I both knew I was trying to move out of my house for the summer before I went back to school in the fall. Rent and utilities were discussed briefly, and since his parents pay both on his behalf, I had assumed whatever rent and utilities I pay would be forwarded to them or paid to them directly. After I moved down there and settled in, he became fixated on me not letting his parents know I was down there, not to pay them and to pay him instead, etc, etc. So basically he wanted me down there to pay rent to HIM so he could make a quick buck while I was down there. Since he does not pay rent himself (his parents do) , and I have no signed lease or contract with him personally, and since he misled me as to who was going to be receiving rent/utilities, is there anything that could legally bind me into paying rent and utilities to him? His parents had no knowledge i was down there.
