<prompt> Human: Im currently renting out a room in someones house. There is no contract or security deposit and it is a per monthly basis with payments in cash. No background or credit checks either. I noticed the homeowner has some mental problems and its freaking me out. He demands things go his way in the house because its his house and gets angry when I say no. Can he call the cops to kick me out? Im always locking my room when Im inside because he has a tendency to barge in without knocking. Can I use physical force to get him out? I also accidentally spilled wine on his carpet and he doesnt know yet. Because theres no contract or deposit, am I responsible for paying for the stain removable? What are the repercussions if I declined? He kind of pisses me off so I want to leave with more than just a stained carpet. I dont care if I leave on good standing, I just want out. I work a low income job and cant afford to pay for anything else. Please help.Edit: P.S. If he decides to one day come into my room when Im not home and destroy my belongings, how would I retaliate?  <response>: Can he call the cops to kick me out? Assuming youve paid rent and established tenancy, no. Im always locking my room when Im inside because he has a tendency to barge in without knocking. Can I use physical force to get him out? No, unless he threatens you. If you attack him without him having initiated physical violence, the police will frown on it. I also accidentally spilled wine on his carpet and he doesnt know yet. Because theres no contract or deposit, am I responsible for paying for the stain removable? Yes. What are the repercussions if I declined? He could sue you, or raise your rent as soon as legally possible to cover it. He kind of pisses me off so I want to leave with more than just a stained carpet. As in, you want to do more damage? If so, this is moronic. Life is not a game of tit-for-tat. I dont care if I leave on good standing, I just want out.Youre on month-to-month. Just leave. This is not complicated. If he decides to one day come into my room when Im not home and destroy my belongings, how would I retaliate?By suing him.
