Hi there
I just want to see what my rights are ....
After 4 years with my boyfriend i decided to buy a house. The title and mortgage is in my name I paid for the downpayment, closing cost etc. Mar 15/06 we moved in together into the house and shared all bills 50/50. He had bad credit and we bought appliances, a bed and sofa set all in my name of which he gave me 50% cash for the appliances (i didn't give him a reciept) and his half of the bed and sofa was put on my visa which is still unpaid. Prior to moving into the home i also lent him money which was always put on my visa which incl the bed and sofa that now totals just over $5000!
Needless to say, we broke up feb 23/08 and he moved out on mar 1/08. He took lots of things that we had bought together like a spare bed and furnishings and the recliner from the sofa set. I didn't care due to the reason why we broke up i just wanted him out.
Now I guess he has had time to think about it and is asking for money ($5000)for painting the house, putting up closet organizers etc and saying that he put so much money into the house which I think is absurd, once we moved in together we shared all expenses even groceries
Technically, from what i have read we never made it to common law legally so is he entitled to anything?? Or are his threats just idle??
Also, can I take him to small claims for my visa bill?? There are no kids involved. Just want to make sure what mine is mine thanks!
