I said what I had to say to him, I have no plans to take any action at this point. As far as the rental agreement, its very informal. I don't think either one of us has much legal ground to stand on to be honest.
My main point is that no one is going to tell me what to do in my own house. We own the one he is renting as well, but this didn't occur in the one he is renting.
