She owned the house. I lived there over a yr. w/o a formal agreement - we used to be friends. We had a falling out and I found a new place to live, which caused her to flip out (girl is crazy). She kicked me out the day she discovered I was moving (3 wks early)- called the police to have me removed, etc. I moved out and paid rent & util's for the entire time I was there, as well as $300 extra for 'damages' she claimed my cats made. When I went to pick up my stuff the last time, she forced me to sign something saying I would go back and make repairs on the damages (b/c she wanted an add'l $200 that I didn't have). She would not let me leave w/o signing. It was witnessed by her mom and my friend. She was holding my items hostage and refused to let me get them w/o signing. I know - I should have called the cops b/c tenants have rights, but I didn't want to take it that far. In retrospect, I never woud have signed. Does the fact that she was threatening me void the contract?

The best part of the story is that she had all this drug parephanelia in the house, which she told the cops was mine. That was why I had only 1/2 an hour to get my stuff the first time, including the 2 cats, which is no small feat. I really thought I was going to be arrested on some trumped-up charges, so that must be what Lee F is referring to. And, yes, it really was her stuff, but the cops were on her side b/c she was the homeowner. The girl really is crazy - she's 29, but every relationship she has ends in the cops being called. I knew she was crazy towards her dudes, but didn't think it'd ever come out on me. She lives for the drama. I wish I'd known she was wacked before I moved in, but that stuff usually takes a while to show itself. I think I'm just going to try to dodge her for as long as possible and hopefully she'll give up. But the true crazies have a long memory, so she'll probably try to make my life hell. Oh well. I'm just glad to be out of her house of depression.

do not repair the damage caused by her tantrums while on her mental drug over use, do you understand. it is time this controller, learns the very lesson she is trying to teach. let the s- h- i= t hit the fan. i don't like this type of advise i'm giving you, but she reminds me of someone very similar, i was too young and fell into her trap, now i know better.she's just like my first girl.
i know you are trying to be a good person, $300 for a pet damage, that you have no contract for, and it's a cat. cat just lay there, don't they. you've got to get a hold of that paper you've signed, and sue her for your $100 back. you signed, the most expensive con, i've heard of in a long time, it was for $200, you aleady paid her $300, she's got some harsh karma coming. i almost think, you should forgive her, right away, to save her tuccus. you both have, witnesses on both sides, the court charge and the time involved, is all worth it.( you forgot to mention what the threat part was, exactly). i understand you signed and agreed to pay her $200, the $300 was a formal agreement, which does not hold up in any ones court, the mention of a formal agreement is not smiled upon in the courts. here's the formal agreement, if i get mad at you or if you leave me, then you will have to pay me, then charges will then be drawn up, including a pet damage of a cat both shared and loved while living together, it will be writen out in pencil and changed , as my hatred and disrespect of you changes, that's what i'm reading here. what a mess. i can't stand an injustice. there's more to this, i just read it again, it's hard to believe, where is the creditability, she calls the cops, and when you most definetly should, you don't want to. you decide to pay, for the whole time you were there, then some. you, in retrospect sign papers to pay more money, that is $500.00 all together for a cats damage. you have to be guilty of something, what are you doing? all i can say, go to small claims and drag her in, she'll at least understand she's an evil doer when things don't go her way. and what ever you did, is not why your'e there anyway, so she has nothing on you. unless, you're leaving out some stuff, if you are and don't want to say then pay her and leave it to experience already...

Personally i think you should keep said money if for nothing else than just because she lied to you and was very disrespectful. and as far as actually 'owing' her the money that's up to your conscious not up to the law or anything after all she never even signed a lease so there is no documentation of her ever being there at all. And really she is moving out when its convenient for her and expecting you to compensate and bend to her schedule which is just not right. So its completely her fault for losing that money and moving out so early and you owe her nothing. So to wrap it up No don't give that girl any money

Have you ever watched Judge Judy? She deals with these kind of cases all the time. I would contact a lawyer or a public defender and run the situation by them. Consult fees for a lawyer aren't that expensive. Good luck.

Did you have anyone with you? It may be concidered "under duress" in other words you signed it because you felt that you would be harmed if you didn't sign it. Yes, you should of called the cops. You would of gotten your things and told her to sue you. Sorry.

If there was no lease, no "Move in/out" inspection sheet done, then she has nothing. IF you signed the paper, learn to never sign anything that you don't agree with.
If you call the cops, you can retreive your property.
