Also, the rent agreement was not just verbal, I have a copy of the lease that this guy came up with. Typed it up himself. It's a load of garbage that should be sufficient (I hope) since it says the rent is $2000.

I had a hunch that you weren't just opening random mail w/o an okay, and that you were forced into major crisis mode (since at some point, unpaid utilities get their plugs pulled).
Small Claims Court filing is just $15-$20, and it's worth the effort to get $ back, do something (instead of stewing and feeling stuck), and keep him from slinking off.
