Renter Rebate...
Ok, so from Aug 2005-Aug 2006, I lived with my ex-bf. He still lives in our old place but now sublets to his friend. He just recieved his renter's rebate which you get after being on the lease for a full calendar year. It's a pretty big chunk of change: $1,000. When we lived together, he had a job about 50% of the time, and I helped him out immensely by paying both of our rent for a few months (in which he paid me back for after I moved out).
In Aug 2006, I moved out because:
A. I did not want to renew our lease.
B. We were breaking up for actions on his part.
C. My parents do not think highly of him and gave me an ultimatum: move out or we're not paying your college tuition.
Because I was on the lease 8 months out of the calendar year (2006), I am not entitled to filing for a rebate...even though I was on the lease for over a year. That's the legality of it, and even though it's pretty dumb, there's nothing I can do about it. However, because of my ex's monetary troubles, I DO NOT believe he would have been able to live there by himself had I never moved in (seeing as I had to put down a lot of money at least twice to get ourselves out of being evicted).
I expressed concern to him about how it would be "nice" to see a bit of the money (something like $100). He flipped out, saying that in now way am I entitled to that money in the least. He has, once again, dug himself into a hole with the landlord, after he quit his job 3 months ago and did not have steady income until just barely getting a job a few weeks ago. So, he owes them a lot of money, in which he used the entire renter's rebate to pay them backrent.
I know that legally, there's nothing I can do...but if the roles were reversed, I would slip him some cash, especially if he had helped me get it in the first place.
What do you guys think? Am I entitled to a small amount of the rebate?
legally no
i'm guessing he is mad at you for leaving him so don't expect him to be generous.
it would be the right thing to do, but the right thing rarely gets done these days.
for 100$ is it really worth the trouble?

jay never struck me as a person high on morals and principles.I dont think you will see a dime.I just sold my bal en blanc tickets and vip at quite the profit .
shit lineup.
i don't want to come across as some sort of gold-digger...as i do not value money very highly versus other things. i just feel like my hard work contributed to this gain, and it would be nice to see some of my effort come back to me for once. 
it would be nice for shara to answer my phone calls, but it wont happen.
Think of yourself and get past it.

You split up because of his actions, meaning he's not very nice, as actions that warrant splitting up in a relationship can't be nice ones.
So I'd doubt him being very nice about this.
If I was in a position like his I'd pay out a chunk, but legally you aren't entitled so he's got a good reason not to if he's still bitter bout the break.
Watch him crash and burn big style, worth a few dollas if not 100's....
Ugggggh fighting over money. Principle shminciple, some things you just have to let goooooooooo.

No, you're not. You agreed to pay the rent for a period of time. When he paid you back, and you accepted the payment, you lost your stake in any benefits that might come from paying said rent. Now, had he not paid you back, certainly, you'd have something coming your way. Would it be nice of him to give some of it to you, since he wouldn't have been able to receive that $1000 otherwise? Yes. However, that would be going out of his way to be courteous, so it's not something you should expect, in the least, since you two didn't split up on the best of terms.
yeah money is so trivial to fight over. it's just really frusturating that in a way, i'm paying for yet another one of his mistakes.
and yes we broke up on really bad terms...he couldn't keep his dick in his pants and for some godforsaken reason, he didn't think that was a good enough reason for me leaving him. 
but that's another story. we broke up in aug, and we've been trying to rebuild a friendship...things have been a little rocky, but up until now, it's been going ok.
he still thinks he has a chance that i'll take him back. hah. this is just yet another reminder of why i've left him.
butterfly: not sure where you live, or if this rebate's offered in all states...but it's worth looking into. a lot of people don't know about it.

In all fairness, you're probably entitled to some of the money, but not likely to see any of it. To tell you the truth, sounds like he's not going anywhere fast, so you're probably better off just walking away from the whole thing and writing it down as a life-lesson anyway.
