Can I sue a former boyfriend for half of the money I paid on our rent and utilities when he skipped town?

We lived together for about 8 months in Wright County, Minnesota. When I moved out, I asked if he would like me to pay half of the rent and utility bill for the last month we were on that lease together. He told me not to worry about it, but I eventually found out that he wrote bad checks all over the place that last month and then skipped town. I now have paid for the rent ($750), the late fees ($255), and a collection agency for the bank in which we had an account together ($107). I paid all of these because my name was also attached to them, but I would like to at least get him to pay me back for half. I’m wondering if that’s possible and how I would go about doing that, only knowing that he is somewhere in Ohio. I do know his parents address in Ohio, but I do not have their phone number, nor do I have his. I do, however, have his social security number. Please help!
We were both on the lease…and I forgot to say that I also paid a $600 utility bill.

Wow, there’s a lot of people who I’m sure are well-intentioned, but who have given you absolutely incorrect information!

Yes, you can sue him. The question is, will you win? and is it worth it?

There is considerable expense involved when filing a lawsuit, especially if he’s out of state. You have to sue him where he lives now (which could be a problem if you don’t know where he is), and then you’d have to PROVE that he agreed to pay half of all that. Then, even if you were able to prove that, and you got a judgment against him, he probably won’t have the money to pay you since he’s bouncing checks everywhere.

You probably need to just look at this as an $1100 lesson on being financially responsible. If I were your attorney, even though I’d say he legally and morally owes you the money, I would advise against trying to sue him, just because it’s going to cost you several hundered more dollars at a minimum, and there’s no guarantee you’ll get anything from him.

Good luck.

Karma Checks $11.98 Contained in the familiar pleather checkbook holder, Karma Checks consists of two separate booklets–one for Good Karma and one for Bad Karma. The checks are preprinted with messages that apply to common daily scenarios. Good Karma Checks are intended for acknowledging positive moments (receiving an unsolicited favor, being served by a waiter who doesn’t rush the table, having an excellent conversation with a stranger), while Bad Karma Checks are for admonishing bad behavior (talking loudly on a cell phone in a public place, chatting during a movie, stealing a parking spot). Fun to fill out and eminently practical, the Good Karma Checks are perfect for leaving on a recipient’s desk or tucking into a thank-you note. If you aren’t feeling bold enough to actually issue a Bad Karma Check, at least you’ll have the satisfaction of glaring at the perpetrator as you privately write one out!60 pages, 6 3/8 x 3 5/8 inches
