I was told I had to leave a room I was renting in early December of last year for having an overnight guest without my landlady's permission and need to take her to small claims court to try to recover the money she owes me for the remainder of December's rent and final month's rent ($1500 total). I really just need to know what "grounds" I have for suing her, what legal term I need to use when filing the forms for small claims court as well as what my chances are of recovering anything. The room rental was month-to-month and there was no written lease agreement. I was also given verbal permission to have overnight guests over occasionally when I first moved in. I was not evicted but rather was told I had to leave at noon the day after she discovered I had an overnight guest. I did not know at the time that legally I didn't have to leave.
Thanks in advance for any advice/information.
