You know that Camelot and Camelot II aren't the same place, just an FYI.

I am very aware of that, but neither of them is very desirable.

Well, today we moved him out of the house, he's staying at my house for a few days til he can get in somewhere else. The house was left in the same condition it was received and we both learned not to rent from anyone who could feel okay with showing a house full of trash

Somehow I feel that the OP pics and story should be written into a fortune cookie, with the fortune reading:
"if it looks like a slum; expect a slumlord"

I think the most telling part of your post is that he didn't have an agreement in writing. If you're looking for recourse, look elsewhere. If you don't have one in writing, why is he still there? Is he paying him?

There are a lot of things wrong or fishy about that situation, but it's not like he's locked into a lease if he didn't sign anything, so what's the problem?

Leave. Problem solved.

This is good advice.

If you don't have a contract, you don't have a lot of legal recourse. It's the backbone of going after someone in court.

In some of the best neighborhoods, you have slum owners. People who take the cheap way or ignore issues altogether. Living in Southtown, there was one gentleman in particular who owns MANY downtown properties and does everything on the cheap... So cheap, in fact, that tenants have been left without electricity, sewer and units had multiple violations. It took a group to get together and threaten suit (as well as going to local news stations) to get things done.

We moved him out on Sunday.... The worry is that they can come after him for damages but I have pictures from before he moved in, and since there was no lease agreement or anything really, I don't see how they could. They didn't even get his SSN
