There is four of us living in a 3 bed apartment, no lease was ever made and we were to spilte the bills and uliuties. I have had problems with one of my roommates, she was the one who dealt with paying the electric bill and rent. I paid 200, one roommate paid 250, another paid 400, and she paid 300...which was 1150.00 The rent each month was 900.00, I never knew that electric bill was never paid for and the gas which was in my name I never recieved any money for it. I know I should have asked for it, but I was fearful of my life, she had gotten physically once. She had pushed me down that one time, and had an object in her hand. I had ran out of the apartment till late that night.
Evelyn<one of my other roommates> and I often got threats from her that she would throw our stuff out while we were gone at work, that we had a week to move, and other such threats. Nothing was ever done, since rent here is extremely expensive and our work schedule was always full we never had a chance to move sooner, but we had looked and thought about it.
My brother is in the army, and is getting shipped out at the end of feb. so evelyn and I decided to move closer to my family to be supportive. I just moved my clothes and just a few items 4days ago. I moved ahead of time to find a good apartment, a car, and jobs. Evelyn is following me at the end of march. I am giving evelyn money to take care of my stuff and my cats.
I got the gas bill on a payment plan,and she has signed agreement to pay what is owed by her. Since I no longer live there I told them I was shutting the gas off cause I don't trust that it will be paid and I don't want it to get any higher or ruin my credit more.
So because I shut it off she wants me to pay for feb's rent<I have already paid for January's rent> and 200 for storage by sat or she will throws out all my belongs and my two cats. She also goes to Evelyn's job and threatens her or over the phone, Evelyn's almost lost job because of this
Can she charge me rent and storage fees? What can Evelyn do about her threats?
