Just out of curiosity....how long after they leave can they sue u or take you to small claims court? So say this family is gone but nothing happens just what they are doing....scare tactics. But then a yr later then sue or go to small claims....can they a yr later? Or do they have a window inorder to act? I'm asking because I had a similar stituation happen but I stood my ground and did not give the money back. Nothing was said or done after that. But after reading this....now has me scared. Can the parents still do something a yr later?

To the OP......good luck with everything I know what ur going through. Parents can be scary. Sometimes it's worth it to stand up for urself other times u just got to give in to get them out of your life.
