Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Virginia
Subleasing based on a verbal agreement
I was subleasing, however there was no written lease involved. I have since moved but the old roommates are now trying to get money from me in small claims court... can they do this with no evidence?

Re: Subleasing based on a verbal agreement
Sure, they can, but there does have to be at least some evidence put before the court hearing the matter, but it doesn't necessarily have to be in writing; the oral testimony of your "old roommates" given under oath, of course, may be quite sufficient to convince a judge that in fact you do owe the money that they claim you owe.
