I'm sorry to hear your family is once again putting you in a difficult situation.

I'd have to do some checking but since you have no written lease it would make it extremely difficult for your BIL to collect money. I am guessing you have some sort of verbal agreement....Just know in many areas that a verbal agreement is just as binding as a written agreement.

If he took you to court it would be his word against yours as to any rent or non-rent agreement. The fact that he has allowed you to live there as long as you have without rent and now coming up with some kind of back rent owed most likely would never pass with a judge.

I agree with the others... you need to contact Legal Aid.
Check your PM's.. I am sending you a link with an 800 phone number.
