I moved into a friend of mines house ,as what I thought as a roommate. I asked him how much the rent would be and he said I could clean for my rent. I have kept my part of the deal for a year now and he has not provided fair liveing conditions which I have proof of. Anyway all the sudden he slips some note under my door telling me he now wants an additional $10.00 a week. and he has locked me out of the laundry room. I did not pay the additional $10.00 a week and told him if he was going to raise the rent and make these changes he nneded to do it legally with written lease agreement or something . I was just served with a notice from his lawyer to appear in court pay $40.00 plus any other back rent , legal costs, and attorney fees, etc. I did not sign anything in agreement to anything. Do I have any rights or recourse?
