<prompt> Human: The Situation:April 2016: I signed a 1-year lease on a 2 bedroom house in San Jose, CA. A guy named James got on the lease as well. Also, the company, CityCheers, that James works for is on the lease, under the condition that a CityCheers employee, we will call him Ynnnel, can come stay at the house at max 1month for 5 days. The landlady is aware of that setup.THE RENT:Me: 1200James: 1200CityCheers: 1000Total: 3400May 2016: We move in and things are fine. Ynnel doesnt even come to stay during the month of May. In June, James and his boss from CityCheers approach me and ask if they can move their office into the front of our house, using up the dining room and living room. Just temporary until July 1st when they would be getting the funding they need to move into their new office building. Just 2-3 employees would be at the house during the day, including James and his boss. I agreed mistake 1. They moved in desktops, a printer, etc. Shortly after, James and I sat down with his boss and asked if we could set Ynnel up in the basement when he came to stay, that way we could rent out the dining room andor living room as another bedroom once CityCheers moved out at the beginning of July. He called Ynnel who said he was fine with that, we shook hands and were in agreement.July comes and goes and they had not secured their funding and were still operating out of the front of my house. A few months pass and they didnt leave. During that time, Ynnel came to say at the house several times. He would stay in the front room on a blow-up mattress amongst the office furniture. I didnt apply the pressure too much but we did have a verbal agreement that they would be out by July 1st. Fast-forward to November 6. I return from a month long business trip in Switzerland and CityCheers is still operating out of the front of my house. Keep in mind that James isnt too happy with the situation either but he doesnt want to bite the hand the feeds him either. So I went directly to his boss, the owner and founder of CityCheers who has been working out of the front of my house for the past 5 months, and made two requests:get your office out of my house by the end of the weekendpay James and I 6000 dollars to compensate for the rent money that would have been offset by renting out the living roomdining room to another roommate.He said he cant guarantee moving the office out but will try really hard by December 1st. He refused to pay back any of the money.So obviously I am getting screwed and should have done something way sooner. Does anyone have any recommendations for me? This guy is a sleaze and is not going to cooperate with me. How can I apply the pressure?  <response>: Psst... CityCheers has no money.
