Re: rentals
Yes, you can still sue, it just makes it harder to prove your case without a written lease agreement. However, if the tenant was residing there and paid other monthly payments, that shows he was an actual tenant and was supposed to pay monthly rent.
if you need assistance filing your paperwork, please contact me. thanks.
