Hi....your forum is wonderful and I've learned alot as well as my own research, but I would still like to hear from anyone from BC or who knows about CL splits in relationship to home ownership. To make a long story short...
Been with this man for 5 years. I bought a house 6 months after we got together. I had been planning to do so for the previous year. I paid the downpayment. He paid me so much per month for bills and groceries and home costs--which means mortgage. First year we were in the house, he lost his job. Didn't contribute much. Next 3 years were better. The house needed extensive renovations. I paid for everything....over 70K worth. I and another relative did the work, with the CL doing the odd thing....he never contributed to materials at all.
We have split due to his alcohol issues and cheating for 4 of the 5 years. He is threatening that he is entitled to part of the cost of home when I sell (which I am doing right now) because he paid half the mortgage (which I call rent). He also stole off me, and owes me 11K which I know I will never see.
Do you think he would be successful if he took me to court under the unjust enrichment?
2nd question: I arranged for him to come and get his stuff. It took him over a month to get it...he would come once per week with one vehicle and friend...when he had 3 days off per week. The workshop has all his tools and saws and such.....he wouldnt' come and get it....I am trying to sell this house.....I asked him numerous times, by email. I then sent him a registered letter, which he signed for and it stated he had 2 weeks to get the rest or it would be disposed of. He never came. I haven't disposed of it....he doesn't know that.....could I though? or will he have a case to come after me?
thank you for all your help in advance.
