<prompt> Human: Long story short... She has no credit and no one would cosign the lease with her. Our option was to pay her portion of the last 3 months of rent we were out of options at this point so I had to loan her the money or have nowhere to live. No attempts have been to make even small payments for 6 months and as stated in the title, there is now some tension between us and honestly Im tired of being the good guy and I want to start getting my money back. Unfortunately I got nothing in writing when I loaned the money I know pretty stupid should I get something typed up and signed now? Any suggestions? Sorry if formatting issues, on mobile  <response>: You can try and get something in writing and give to the other person. Use that and take them to court. If not, you may be at a loss.
