question for the lawyers: rental question
my son, his gf and my grandson recently moved from Mayville to East Grand Forks. They left their lease 2 months early because one of son's freinds said they wanted their apartment for June 1st. So they were packed up, moved, cleaned up, carpets cleaned, etc... The friend had even talked to the landlord and had a verbal agreement with him that he would move in but no paperwork was done until he got there.
Now friend decided he doesn't want to move in, so landlord is going after son and gf. (which I completely understand!) But son is PISSED. (which I also understand) He wants to take friend to court as this will end up costing them almost $1400 (rent, utilities,). If friend made a verbal agreement to both them AND the landlord, this can be possible...correct? Or am I misunderstanding this whole thing.
Re: question for the lawyers: rental question
Your son should talk to an attorney licensed in ND.
As a practical consideration, assuming the judge rules in his favor and the friend doesn't just hand over the money, your son has to figure out some way to collect it. I have no idea what that entails in ND but there could very well be a cost associated with it. Does the friend even have $1400 to pay? If he doesn't, what good does spending the time and money on court do? Also, is it worth ruining the friendship over?
