FLA - Daughter living in BF's family's home - after breakup they want back rent?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Making a long story short, my daughter and her boyfriend moved into his grandparent's home in FLA after he was left homeless. The understanding was that they would live there, get jobs, save money and move and get their own place. There was no written contract or document stating that they had to pay rent or any utilities. The relationship ended after the boyfriend was arrested for theft. Daughter ending this relationship and moved out of the grandparent's house and is now home. I received an email from the mother stating that daughter owes them 453.00 in back rent and utility charges (this was a lump sum given no breakdown). This is surprising to my daughter since nothing was said that she must pay rent while she was living there and this was not brought up until she ended the relationship.
She is upset over this and is wondering if they have a legal case to pursue? She is a 19 yr old student and is presently not working. Advice would be appreciated.
