What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Delaware
My ex roomate decided to break the lease and move to another state. So I have to take over the whole lease. As a penalty for him moving out early he writes me a check for $1300. When I tried to deposit the check I found out he put a stop payment on it.
My question is do I have enought evidence to sue him in small claim court? What I have is the check which says "penalty for moving out early", and an agreement we both signed at the leasing office on the day the check was written that says I agree to release him from our lease and from that day I will be the only one on the lease. Since he now moves to another state, does the Delaware justice of peace court have personal jurisdiction over him?
Thank you in advance!
