I'm talking from a legal standpoint.So is Blake. You should have called her out on the stuff she did incorrectly when it happened. Letting it slide makes it hard to prove. Basically, you should have written her up.

This site may help you a bit Joel...just type "Rental" into the search bar

You could tell her that it will cost her way more than $275 to get $275 out of you via the legal system, and that all kinds of interesting "facts" about the legality of her dealings will come up during the discovery process.
You should pay her $75 or whatever and agree to part ways.

Funny thing is I'm know a girl by that name, I won't say a word though.
Unless that contract was written by a lawyer I'm sure any half decent one would be able to prove that it is illegal. Check to see if its rental property, if not tell her that to pursue this any more would only waste everyones time and money.

^^^agreed. IIRC, in order for a freehand document/contract/whatever to be legal, it needs to be notarized by someone authorized by the state or it is technically not a legal document and should not be considered in a court case.

Highly doubt she'd take you to court over $275. Besides its not a rental property. She owns the house, and did YOU a favor by letting you live there. Also, just because it isnt stamped by a notary public doesnt mean its not a legal document. It's still a contract, which by the looks of it has atleast 2 other witnesses that also signed the same contract. And unless those other people are having the same problems with her, then you would be screwed if she were to take you to court.
But then again with how the court system works, you would go to court, lose, you'd be required to pay her back, and they would let you decide on how and when you would want to pay her back.
I'd tell her you'd give her half the money and see if she'd take that or the whole ammt. Its only $275.

Its a two way street, I had rented one of my houses out and they signed the lease then the next day decided not to rent it, then in order to me to be able to re-rent it they had to sign off on it.I personally would not take anybody to court for that kind of money it would be a waste of time.I would put my effort into re-renting it.

Isn't this like the third roommate thread you've posted where you've had problems with your roommates?
