VERY long story short. i just need a yes or answer/opinion
my cousin was my room mate. who didnt pay his rent. (long long story) he lied to EVERYONE about EVERYTHING(parents, my friends, his friends, exs etc) I kicked him out of the house. hes still making up lies telling people i owe HIM money, im a s*** and im sleeping with my bfs brother (who is GAY btw)...making up stories to other people about other people....my boyfriend & his brother want to kick his a**. Im tryin to be humble and just deal with it on my own terms because Court will be very very exhausting for me and expensive. But hes testing my limits. And if i REALLY need to, i will take him to court. What do you think...should i wait it out and deal with it, or screw it and deal with court. i have more then enough evidence...
btw, he didnt get caught earlier because you wouldnt believe how detailed of a liar he is. he should be an actor. i see him as a completely different person. its scarey

You could take him to court to obtain his portion of the rent, if it was agreed upon he was to pay rent.
However, his lying is not something that a court can or will deal with.
I would advise you just write him off. It not only will show everyone you are being the bigger person, but he will only show what an *** he really is.
Good Luck!
RE: Updated information... if only there were a law against being stupid. LOL!
You could sue him for the money he did not pay you, use the text messaging as evidence in the small claims court. However since you kicked him out I don't think a judge will hold him accountable for the months after you kicked him out only the ones where he was there.
I would advise you to either write him off (regarding everything else from the rent) or if you want, go get a restraining order against him.

People like your cousin have probably pulled the same stunt on other people that have cared about him and he has taken advantage of they likely don't believe him anyway, but may tolerate him out of pity of because he is "charming", "entertaining" or "socially engaging", but know better than to leave their wallet or purse unattended around him.
Take the high road and stick to the fact and ignore the B.S. that he is spewing and if asked or questioned about it, tell the people that it is an issue between you and your cousin and it would not be appropriate for you to discuss personal situations about your relative or bad mouth him...he will come off looking like the a$$ he is choosing to be. If they say something that he has said that is nasty and untrue, tell them "consider the source" and change the subject.
It depend on the amount of money, your personal financial situation and your situaton with your family if you choose to pursue the rent that he owes you in Small Claims Court, which can be done without a lawyer, but does require a filing fee with varies from State to State; where I reside it is $75...some States are high, some are lower. You will be required to prove your claim by the preponderance of the evidence, which it sounds like you have kept detailed records and that may be no problem.

What kind of "evidence" are you talking about first of all. Are you wanting to take him to court for money or just because he is a liar? You may want to add more details, thats what yahoo answers is for. Where here to help.
Update: If he still owes you money for the rent and is documented like you said and your wanting to get it back, you can take him to small claims court without the need for a lawyer, you already have the evidence. It speaks for itself. I would however NOT tell him you have proof unless you want to use that as a scare tactic to get your money.

All the other stuff aside...if you have kept good records bill receipts..rent payments....you could take him to small claims. I am not sure this will shut this dude up though. Usually a small claim costs around $100-$200 to file. A restraining order..about the same. I would consider doing both. This guy is off his leash!!

I wouldn't. You'll end up with a minimum of $3500 in litigation fees. Is that really worth it? Probably not. At least, not to me.
