People can get particularly nasty during the fallout from a breakup. It sounds like this particular ex-boyfriend was all kinds of out of line. He basically had a group of people paying his way, and was having his ex go ahead and make full payments on the rent. Well, let's just say that things didn't end up working out too well for him.

I was in my early twenties and had just gotten out of a relationship. The separation wasn't exactly a pretty one. We had lived together and I was beyond ready to move out and never speak to him again. There was just one problem: we were only five months into a one year lease at our duplex. We had a 2 bedroom duplex b

The fact that he found people to live there a

He immediately contacted my ex, made him pay a fine and told him that each and every one of the tenants needed to apply to be on the lease. All of them applied. NONE of them got approved so they were all kicked out. He had to continue to pay his portion for the remaining months of the lease. Pretty sure he never found out it was me who ratted him out.
