Be sure to send him a certified letter letting him know that you still expect him to pay for X amount of months until the lease THAT HE signed is fulfilled. Whether he is living there or not. If that does not produce results then you can use the judicial path to claim your money. But hopefully that gets results before you need to actually go through court. > > But by seeing the amount of people on People’s Court with this situation… I’d venture to say he has no intentions of paying. Cert. letter will win your case in court. NEVER walk into court w/ he said she said shit. You will piss the judge off and waist his time. If you go in there fully prepared he will close the case quickly and in your favor. It sucks you have to take these measures…but its what you have to do. besides if he moved back in w/ mommy and daddy…they will more than likely get the letter and possibly make him handle his debt. You can hope anyways, good luck! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/need-advice-roommate-breaking-lease/192262)._
