Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
Lent Money to a Friend With No Contract
Last March I lent a friend $3,500 for an aparment.
I made the check to their landlord directly - my friend promised I would be paid monthly over the summer.
To date I have been paid $200.00. I was given other checks that have bounced.
My friend has said repeatedly that they do not want to pay.
I did make the landlord aware of the situation.
Do I have recourse in small claims court?
Is someone willing to represent me in this matter?
Thank you.
