Legal Question in Civil Litigation in South Carolina
Verbal agreement with rental lease
We had a verbal agreement with a
random roommate for a lease. She
mailed us a check for her part of the
deposit and rent, but put a hold on
the check and backed out on us after
we signed the lease. Can we hold
her to that payment in small claims
court?

Re: Verbal agreement with rental lease
Your question is a little confusing. I have no idea what a "random roommate" is. But that's okay. It probably doesn't matter. If she signed a lease like you said agreeing to pay you a certain amount of money, and then did not pay that amount of money, then based on what you have told me it appears that she is in breach of the agreement and therefore, you would be able to sue her. However, without having seen the lease and knowing everything else about this situation I cannot say for sure. I would prefer not to guess. See the lease would be key
