Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Iowa
No Lease - Paid Some Rent - Moved Out - What Do I have to Pay?
I lived in an apartment for 18 months without signing a lease. I had paid some rent on the place, and the utilities, and then moved out. I just now got a job and when I contacted my landlord about giving him some money he told me that I owe him more pre month than we had orally agreed to. What are my options? Do I owe him any? The amount that we had agreed to Orally? The amount he stated afterward? Or the amount that I had paid him before (what I had paid before was less per month than we had orally agreed to). Keep in mind that I had paid the utilities the whole 18 months if that proves I was a resident...
