    He sounds like a nightmare. Make sure you are not contractually liable for him not paying rent, bills etc.

    Becareful re:small claims court. It will be up to you to prove that he owes. If all you have to go on is verbal agreements for sharing of bills, there is nothing to stop the person being sued claiming that there was also a verbal agreement that they didn't have to contribute to the bills in question... As the claimant, the burden of proof lies with you, not with them.

    Still hard - all the other person has to say is that it is a vendetta, and you are all ganging up and bullying him...
