Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Illinois

Re: unpaid roommate bills

Hello. Yes, you can file a lawsuit against your

former roommate, but the issue is whether you

can establish that you and your roommate had an

agreement to share the expenses!? If there is nothing in writing, it will be up to the judge

or jury to determine who is telling the truth.

Before filing suit, consult a lawyer. In

Illinois courts a person can be sanctioned or

(fined) for filing a lawsuit that the court

determines has no merit or is said to be of

a frivilous nature.
