Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia

I had an agreement with a boyfriend I let live with me. He agreed to pay only $150 each month in rent for him and his daughter to stay at my house. He also caused damage to my house that he said he will have fixed. I have all of this in texts/emails, witnesses, and of course our verbal agreement. I have been wanting to take him to Small Claims Court, but I don't even know if I have a case. We broke up amicably. And now time has passed due to my anxiety of standing up for myself. The last night he lived with me was May 21, 2015. He did not completely remove his belongings from my property until the middle of June.
Do I have a case? Has too much time elapsed?

Yes, I think you do (but probably could use some legal advice as

to how best to organize and present your case in court.).

In Virginia, the statute of limitations on verbal agreements is

three years.
