    :-( I'm so sorry this 'friend' has turned out to be a nasty, horrible person. I don't know if you have rights but if it were me, I'd cut my losses (so to speak). I'd be giving him no additional money for anything. I'd call the tenancy board and see if you have any rights (doubt it) but also check whether he has a claim for anything on you (doubt it too). ((hugs)) hun what a sucky situation

    I agree with others, I think you would have rights had you remained in the property in the form of 60 days notice for rent increase, and 90 days notice for the end of tenancy. However now that you have left I would imagine you have lost any rights. Such a hard lesson to learn not to trust a friend when it comes to major things like a place to live, always insist on a lease.
